(00:03):
What we need is more common sense. Got the used plan, breaking down
the world's nonsense about how American commonsense. We'll see us through with the
common sense of Houston. I'm justpro common sense for Houston from Houston is
talking about com. This is theJimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by

(00:27):
Viewin dot Com. Now here's JimmyBarrett. Every day should have a mission.
Every day you should have something thatyou're trying to accomplish. That it's
not necessarily easy to accomplish a daydoesn't mean it has to require deep thought
or or or physical exercise. Itjust means that it's nice to have sort

(00:50):
of a quest if you will,no matter how silla it may seem.
Today's quest for me, it's sofar gone unfulfilled. I have made two
stops so far, and I havestruck out both times. But the day
is not over, so I willcontinue my quest. My quest is to

(01:12):
find a grocery store that as thenew flavor of bluebellt ice cream. Now,
hang on, before you think that'sa silly quest. You've heard what
it is right, it is doctorPepper float Uh huh. Yes. Now,

(01:34):
personally I dare say this and withit all. I'm being honest.
Personally, I don't care. Ido like ice cream, but I'm trying
very hard to avoid it. Ilove bluebellt ice cream. It is the
finest storeballt ice cream. It's Isit the best ice cream on the planet?
No? Is it the best storeballedice cream on the planet. Yes?

(01:57):
And therefore it's easily obtainable at mostgrocery stores. And I'm not a
super big fan. I know thisis blasphemous, but I'm not a super
big fan of Doctor Pepper. I'mnot. Yeah, um yeah. Basically,
Doctor Pepper's Cherry Cooke and I Idon't know. I don't The cherry
in the co combination doesn't do anythingfor me. It does, it does

(02:19):
things for a lot of people.It does some amazing things for my wife,
Elizabeth. She loves Doctor Pepper.If I if you were to ask
her for what are the top fivereasons to live in Texas, doctor Pepper
would be among the top five.Not that you can't get Doctor Pepper everywhere
you can, but she understands itwas invented here. Okay, it was

(02:40):
invented in Waco, Texas. Sheunderstands there's a Museum of All Things Doctor
Pepper in Waco, Texas. Shegets it, she's all about it,
and she's all about Blue Belt.She agrees Blue Belt ice Cream is the
finest store bought ice cream that youcan ever get. And I'll tell you
why we didn't. We didn't getexposed to Bluebell until well, we got

(03:05):
exposed to it before we moved toTexas. We were living in Virginia at
the time, and there's a lotof for some reason, there's a lot
of synergy going on, or atleast there was between Virginia and Texas.
There's a lot of former Texans wholive in Virginia and vice versa. So
there was a big buzz going onwhen Bluebell first branched out and started serving

(03:25):
other states, and Virginia was oneof those states. And the what I
call the Texas expats, the oneswho are former Texans who are living in
Virginia, they were giddy. Theywere beside themselves Bluebells coming to Virginia.
Oh my god. They were soexcited, so excited. And I I

(03:47):
remember saying to myself or saying tothem at the time, hang on,
you're getting this excited over store boughtice cream. This is grocery store ice
cream, right, I mean,I couldn't think of a grocery store ice
cream that would get me that excited. And then I tried it, and
I realized, oh man, forstore ball and ice cream. That stuff

(04:11):
is legit. And of course,now we live here in Texas where Bluebell
is the iconic brand and Doctor Pepper'san iconic brand, and they've married the
two together. Now she's all intothe Wanderburger. If you go to Wanderburger,
they have a they have a reallymean doctor you know, Doctor Pepper
shake that they do, so thisis similar. They're not ripping the whole

(04:32):
idea off here. I mean,lord knows, Wanderburger was not the first.
I'm sure they come up with theidea of putting together ice cream and
doctor Pepper. Plenty of people havedone it. But this is more like
the root beer flowed, only youdo with Doctor Pepper. At least that's
the idea behind the flavor. Sohere's the quest. And as I said,
I'm struck out twice so far.Today I went to a Cracker and

(04:54):
I went to an HB. NeatToday's the day the stores is supposed to
have it, and I guess that'sdependent upon when they get their delivery of
Bluebell. I have no idea howoften Bluebell shows up in any given grocery
store. I don't know if theyif they deliver once a week, if
they delivered twice a week, whatthe schedule is, but I've only been

(05:16):
to one of each. I'm guessingsomebody somewhere has the Doctor Pepper Float ice
cream from Bluebell, but I haven'tfound it yet. So that's kind of
my job today. My job todayis to find somebody. That's my quest,
to find somebody who's got the BluebellDoctor Pepper Float ice cream in stock.

(05:39):
If you run into it somewhere andthere's more than one or two half
gallons or pints left, would youlet me know? Jimmy Barrett and I
heardmedia dot Com just dropping quickly on, Hey, Jimmy, I saw it
at this location, and if it'snot too far from Spring, Texas,
I'll make a run and see ifI can find it. I don't know
if I'm gonna find it today,I really don't. My guess is there's

(06:00):
only a handful of places that aregoing to have it today. It's going
to trickle into the stores, butit's gonna take a little while in order
to be able to find it.But that that's kind of the big deal
today. Find the Doctor Pepper floatice cream if you can. Segment coming
up and just a bit married maybewe'll talk about a little bit in the
next segment. You know, theselists come out all the time of the
best and worst drivers, and they'recomplete horsepucky. There's a survey that claims

(06:26):
that Texas has the worst drivers inthe entire country. Texas has the worst
drivers in the entire country. Now, if you were to tell me Texas
has some of the most aggressive driversin the country, I would believe that.
If you were to tell me thatTexas has some of the most passive
aggressive drivers in the country, Iwould agree with that. But the worst

(06:47):
drivers seriously, anyway, more inthat coming up stand by Jimmy Part show
here on name nine fifty KPRC.You know, I've lived in a few
places, including right here in Texas, and everywhere I have lived the claim

(07:08):
has been made that they have theworst drivers. And you know, it's
interesting how they put these things together. If you were to google US states
with the worst drivers, you wouldprobably see a dozen or more different surveys,
all with different results. It dependson the criteria that they're using.

(07:30):
Now, one in the last fewweeks that came out claims that Texas has
the worst drivers. So I thought, Okay, what criteria are they using?
What made them select Texas as oneof the states with the worst drivers?
So I took a look at thewebsite is called dig with two g's

(07:53):
d IgG. They evidently only considereda drowsy driver or involving a driver who
was driving the wrong way. Thosehang hunt. They did number of fatal
crashes for one hundred thousand drivers,so they basically on fatal crashes and then

(08:16):
the clause of the fatal crash,of which the two causes given were drowsy
driver and a driver who was drivingin the wrong direction driving the wrong way.
With those two criteria, we camein at number one, far and
away number one. Nobody else waseven close. Evidently we have a lot
of drowsy drivers, and we dohave a lot of people driving the wrong

(08:37):
way. Now, the wrong waydriver thing is interesting to me. I
drive at a very early hour,like about two thirty two forty in the
morning. Every single workday to dothe morning showing KTRH. That's when I
leave my house in Spring and Itake the Grand Parkway to forty five the

(08:58):
North Freeway, take the North Freewaysouth through the Sixtam Loop and the Sixtam
Loop to work, so I'm onthe main drag and the sights you see
on the North Freeway at two thirtytwo forty in the morning are sometimes rather
interesting. They seem to be madeup of people driving either really super fast

(09:18):
or people who are driving really superslow. You see the occasional people who
are drifting between lanes. Those arethe people I assume who've been drinking.
What's interesting to me? You knowwhat I never see at two forty or
three o'clock in the morning during myentire drive, or rarely do I see.
I rarely see a police car.Every now and again, I'll see

(09:41):
a City of Houston police officer,but that's it. I never never see
a state trooper. I never seea sheriff. I never see them on
the North Roomway unless there's an accidentthat's already been reported and they're they're responding
to the accident, which strikes mea little strange because there are people who
are passing me going one hundred milesan hour or close to it, and

(10:07):
yet I never see any of thesepeople pulled over but accord According to the
criteria, the limited criteria they used, Texas had the worst drivers. Now
to me, I mean, that'spretty bad driving while drowsy or certainly driving
the wrong way. And I seethe warning signs all the time, you
know, on the highway, youknow, wrong way, driver reported caution

(10:28):
kind of thing. I probably seethat in an average and once every couple
of weeks. It really takes aneffort to get on the wrong way of
the freeway. You really have tobe drunk or really not paying attention to
get on the wrong ramp. Imean, you've got to go the wrong
way on the ramp to get toand you've got all these do not enter

(10:52):
signs. How does this even happen? Do we have that many people driving
drunk or so drunk that they candetermined, you know, which way the
freeway is supposed to go, andyet they're capable of even yea, staying
awake behind the wheel of the cart. That's quite amazing. So again,
based on the criteria, Texas hadthe worst followed by Louisiana, Kansas,

(11:13):
Oklahoma, Kentucky, New Mexico,Wyoming, Arizona, Montana, And that's
stuff that, you know, thinkabout that for a second, Montana.
There's more sheep than people in Montana. How do you have so many fatal
crashes? I guess, I guessI would get the drowsy driver apart if

(11:37):
it's based on that criteria, becauseyou know, you can probably easily fall
asleep driving in Montana's very You know, there's there's nobody out there. South
Carolina, by the way, camein number ten on this list. I
don't know. I don't know againwhy that was picked as the criteria.
Based on that criteria, Washington,DC had the best, New York had

(12:00):
the best. New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Vermont all on
the top of the best list.But again it's based on the criteria.
There you go, brigging rights.I guess I think we have some of
the most aggressive drivers I've seen.I think we have probably way above average.
Maybe we have some of the mostroad rage incidents of any state.

(12:24):
I believe that, But I don'tthink we have the nation's worst drivers by
any stretch of the imagination. Allright, moving away along, Let's talk
for a moment about what keeps BarackObama up at night? Not that I
care, and not that I wouldask him, but he recently did an

(12:48):
interview where he got asked, misterpresident, what keeps you up at night?
What worries you the most? Sowhat was Obama's answer to that question?
And we have some reaction at thetail end of this from Greg Gutfeld
books. The thing that I'm mostworried about is the degree to which we

(13:11):
now have a divided conversation, inpart because we have a divided media.
When I was coming up, youhad three TV stations, Yeah, and
people were getting a similar sense ofwhat is true and what isn't, what
was real and what was not.Today, what I'm most concerned about is
the fact that because of the splinteringof the media, we almost occupy different

(13:33):
realities. I had no idea hewas a white supremacist. He wants to
go back in the days where youhave three white TV anchors, right,
man. So it's really it iskind of an interesting observation that among the
left, racism has exploded as moreand more diverse voices are all over the
place. It's like you've seen minoritymajority rule, basically an entertainment, and

(13:54):
it's now worse than ever. Whatis wrong with a divided media? We
have divided government. It's the onlyway things can work is to have Now
there is division, intense division.That's different than a divided media, right,
you know, people getting angry ateach other, demonizing people generally,
the demonizing. The demonization started withthe left because they were the ones who

(14:16):
made it personal, and the seventiesand now the rights catching up. But
you need to have a divided mediabecause what else would you have. You
would have the three white guys,you know, and everything sucked in the
seventies. The only good thing youcould do is litter, and basically I
learned that was wrong too over time. Everything was ugly in the seventies.
I wouldn't even to think about goingback to the nineteen seventies. But what

(14:39):
keeps Rock Obama up at night evidentlyis the idea that we aren't all in
lockstep with each other. He wastalking about that. I guess what he
assumes is the good old days ofABC, CBS and NBC being the only
place that you could go for newsand they're all reporting the same stories and
all reporting the same stories from thesame slant. And I think, you

(15:00):
know, I will give the formerpresident credit. I think he is right
that there was less of a politicalslant back then than there is now.
I think there was a desire,regardless of the political persuasion of those during
the reporting, there was a desireto cover a story from all angles,
which their long luger is. Butyou know, here's the thing. Most

(15:22):
of the networks are very liberal intheir slant, most of them are highly
political. Most of them are reportingwith an agenda. So the left has
been doing this for quite some time. It's just the right in recent years
that's kind of caught up. Andyou know what, you can't blame the
right. And I'd be the firstto say, that's what we report from.

(15:43):
We report from a from a rightleaning slant. We feel compelled to
do it for a couple of reasons. Number one, our truth and reality
is different than the left truth andreality. That's number one. And number
two is the only way you havea prayer of getting any ellens is to
take the two different sides and tryto blend them or listen to both of

(16:04):
them. And decide for yourself asa human being, what you believe the
truth to be for you. Wherethe left has a problem is the whole
idea that the right even exists.They don't want that being reported. They
would like everybody to do it allthe same. They would be very happy

(16:26):
if Fox was the same as ABC, CBS and NBC, and they would
very much like it if talk radiodid not exist. But it's the only
way you get in a posting pointof view these days. It's the only
way. I don't think that's keepingpeople up at night worried about what the
media is doing. I think worryingabout what the country is and where it's

(16:47):
going. I think that's what's keepingus up at night. Back with more
than moment Jimmy Bart show here ina nine fifty KPRC. All right,
we've talked to our next guests acouple of times. We had her on
the show. I want to saywe had Lissa Martin on the show on

(17:08):
the afternoon show, probably about threeor four weeks ago. We just had
her on the morning show today onKTRH. But I always the thing I
hate about the morning show is thatit's it's so much more condensed, and
the interview time is so short,and we don't really get we only we
only get to the tip of theiceberg. We don't get to do anything
in depth. So while all thesethings were on my mind from having talked

(17:30):
to her this morning with Shara,I thought we'd bring her back on the
afternoon show today and she was kindenough to do so. Welcome back,
Melissa Martin of Innovative Teachers of Texas. Oh, well, thanks so much
for having me. I'm happy tobe here, my pleasure. He's kind
of like, look at this.This is I'm asking you to stay after
school for extra credit. How's that? That's right, that's right. I'm

(17:52):
late turning in my homeworkers live andI need some extra help. Okay,
let's let's let's talk about one ofthe things we got into today, one
of the ideas we got to.One of the things overall that I think
a lot of us are concerned aboutis the idea that we seem to be
moving in a direction of less school, with a new grading system, no

(18:15):
homework, and preferably no testing,which seems like a really bad way to
keep track of whether kids are learningor not. And maybe that's the idea.
The suspicion I think a lot ofparents have is that schools are looking
for a way to not be heldaccountable for the fact that the kids are

(18:36):
not learning the way they used toback in the day. Well, I
think there's a whole lot that youhave packed in there, because we obviously
still have accountability with star testing inevery district is going to be a little
bit different. Some are much heavierwith d EI and those of us that
truly understand what d EI is,you know, it's it's actually a very

(18:57):
concerning kind of cause concepts because itdoesn't hold people as accountable um and then
the standards fall and that impacts allthe students across the board. You know,
when you when you unpack what dEI is, if you look at
it individually, with diversity, thatword, you know, actually sounds like

(19:18):
a great word, but when youput it with equity and inclusion and you
look at what that whole concept iscovering, it really can be very damaging.
UM. So that that's something thatwe have to be really careful about
because it ends up sometimes lowering thestandards that we're trying to actually accomplish literacy
with students, and we need tohave high standards. Students will rise to

(19:41):
the occasion when we set the standardshigh. I would agree with you,
Um, I think d's the ultimatebell curve, don't you. Well,
it almost seems more like a flatum instead of a bell because it just
really pulls the expectations down for everyoneand you end up not having exceptionalism really

(20:03):
for anybody. So it's it's somethingthat's really troubling for those of us that
want to see students succeed across theboard and not water down the curriculum.
Um. Just so some groups thatwe think maybe can't accomplish as much so
that they appear to have accomplished more. So, it's it's something that DA

(20:26):
is just not really a good concept. No, I would agree with you
on that. And for those whodon't remember the old bell curve, um,
I think and I think it seemed, are called doing this in high
school to get my GPA up.You would know which classes were being taught
by teachers who used the bell curvedegrade, and you would know which class
has had maybe the students who werenot the honor roll students. So if

(20:48):
you enrolled in that class, itwas pretty easy easy for you to get
an A because because the Bell curvekind of brought down the rest of the
grade, so that what would normallybe maybe a D was a C.
Now what would normally be a Bwould be an A because of the Bell
curve. And that, to meis kind of like what we're talking about
here. We're talking about in somecases, we're talking about dumbing things down

(21:10):
to the name of equity, sothat we don't have anybody who technically fails.
It doesn't mean they haven't really failed. It just means that we no
longer consider them failing, right,And to just pass out grades that are
passing, or to have kids walkacross this stage at graduation, you know,
there's really no proof that they've accomplishedliteracy. And a lot of that

(21:33):
has to do with inflated grades.And part of that is because the way
that we grade schools in this state, part of that has to do with
graduation rates. So I know thata lot of educators are pressured to not
have a high failure rate. Andthat's something that's concerning for a lot of
educators because if you have a classwhere the failure rate is high, because

(21:56):
maybe the students have issues with motivationand maybe sometimes you know, the tendance
rates are really low and so youreally struggle with getting the passing rate up
in some classes. But if thefailure rate is very high at all,
then then teachers are made to feellike they're the ones they're failing, and

(22:18):
they have more work put on themto have to stay after for tutorials,
and that can get frustrating when youhave students that are either glued to their
cell phones, um you know,watching TikTok videos or some other social media
and they're not wanting to do theirwork doing class Because I know some some
districts don't have a very good cellphone policy. Some are much better than

(22:40):
others, but that is a that'san issue that a lot of teachers are
really struggling with because it's it's hardto compete with cell phones to get kids
to be productive and pay attention,and so that can have a big impact.
And if you try to take thecell phones away, then you have
parents who get upsodes, especially momswho want to be able to communicate with
their child because they ever feel fortheir old that something's going to happen to
the school and they're not gonna beable to talk to their kid well.

(23:04):
And I think that, you know, there's legitimate concerns with parents wanting to
be able to have access to theirtheir students, you know, and I
think that we need to respect theparents' wishes, but at the same time,
we need to understand that there hasto be some common sense measures.
Or students are not getting text messagesor phone calls from parents during class time,

(23:26):
the parents need to respect that.We need to be able to keep
students attention. But it's not mostlythat that kind of interaction that's happening that's
keeping kids on their cell phones.It's much more often that students are addicted
to the social media. And youknow, we've seen just recently in the
news here in the Houston area whereteachers have been assaulted because they've taken up

(23:47):
student cell phones. So there aredifferent districts handle it different ways, and
you know, it's it's something thata lot of teachers just don't want to
have to manage that that battle anymore, and it just adds to the layer
of frustration that teachers face. There'sbeen a lot of talking schools about getting
rid of letter grades ulyssa Martin andinto A into a certain extent, I

(24:08):
guess I can understand it a littlebit. You know, from from all
of our own experiences in school,we know that teachers grade differently, and
what is perceived as an A inone class, you know, might be
perceived as a B in in anotherclass. Kids are always, you know,
lobbying to get a higher grade outof something. I know. I
was very good at plea bargaining aC plus into a B minus when I

(24:30):
was in school. So so Ihave to wonder, is there a better
way to grade students other than aletter grade? Should we consider doing something
else? No, I think thatwe need to really get back to the
basics and and just kind of makea U turn and a lot of the
things that we've tried that are notworking. We need to get back to

(24:51):
the things that we used to seethat truly did work when literacy rates were
higher. And um, we needto hold kids accountable. We don't need
tom you know, lower those expectationsagain, because they need to understand,
you know, that they can accomplishthings and we expect them to do so.
And we have those high expectations forkids and they'll they'll accomplish those,

(25:14):
and letter grades just help them tobe able to measure their performance. And
yet every teacher is different, everyclassroom is going to be different. But
that's been the case forever, andso I don't think getting rid of letter
grades is going to be any kindof solution. And one of the things
we got into a little bit thismorning, and I want to talk about
it again, because a lot ofschool systems are having a difficult time retaining
teachers, and they are going toas a method to try to retain them,

(25:40):
they're offering a four day work week. In other words, to talk
Crosbie Schools, for example, isgoing to a four day a week school
week, which means four days workingfor teachers and four days going to school
for staff. I don't get theimpression that for most teachers that a four
day work week is enough to enticethem to stay. If they're really not
happy where they are, they're stillgoing to leave, aren't they. Well.

(26:03):
I think that that, you know, like I had mentioned earlier,
I think that's just glossing over theproblems that we have in education, because
teachers are not leaving the profession becausethey like us to work five days a
week. It's not unreasonable to expectpeople to get up and show up to
work, and it's actually healthy forus to have a reason to get up
and get dressed and show up towork. The concerns that I have are

(26:26):
you not just about as it's reallygoing to work with recruiting and retention,
especially as it becomes more and morepopular. But the concerns that I really
have is how is this going toimpact our students? The high school students
that are off one day a weekwhen their parents usually are not. I'm
very concerned about the kind of mischiefthat they get into, and then also
the kind of habits that they're developing. Where some kids will actually take advantage

(26:51):
of that and maybe pick up extrashifts that work. There's going to be
an awful lot of kids that don't, and it's going to foster some healthy
habits. And then of course itpresents problems for the elementary students because you
know, who knows exactly how familiesare all going to have to come up
with different solutions, and that canalso be an additional financial burden for being

(27:15):
um and this isn't really a goodtime to add a financial burden to families.
I think the other thing schools arelooking at is can this save us
money? Can this save us moneyon transportation? Can this save us money
in other areas heating and cooling schools? Is there are there any financial savings
or any financial reasons white school systemsshould go to a four day a week
school system. Well, I thinkfor teachers, UM, one of the

(27:40):
things. And this isn't the schoolsavings that this would be for teachers.
They obviously would have some savings withthe you know, going back and forth
to school one day a week withthat commute, but the report that I
read said that the savings were notas great as what they were really hoping
for, UM in a lot ofdistricts. So I don't I just don't
think that's necessarily going to have thebenefit outweighing the negatives. Okay, Melissa,

(28:06):
good to talk to you again today. Appreciate it, Thank you well,
thank you. You have a wonderfulafternoon. You two innovative teachers of
Texas. Is Melissa Martin back withmore in a moment, Jimmy Barrett Choey,
I'm nine fifty k DRC. Allright, final segment coming up,

(28:30):
on this Thursday here in AM ninefifty k PRC. Have you heard about
this um sorority house? What is? I got to get the name of
the right uh? Um Kappa No, it's a yeah, Kappa Kappa Gamma.
I think it's Kappa Kappa Gamma.It's a sorority house at the University
of Wyoming. It's an as,it's an Ashal sorority. UM. When

(28:53):
I was in college, I belongto I Tappa Kaga and I was a
founding member of Tapa Kaka Um.But um, it seems to me that
that from what I've heard of thissorority, this Kappa Kappa Gamma, their
national reputation is. I guess likea lot of do you have like a

(29:15):
built in um image in your mindof what a sorority or a fraternity is?
I think, Um, I thinka lot of people look at sororities
and fraternities and they think of AnimalHouse and some of the movies that um,
you know, paint them as youknow, being kind of you know,
party houses. And I guess toa certain extent that's true. Um,

(29:37):
I never belonged to a fraternity myself. Fraternity is weren't really cool when
I went to college and they kindof come and go. But this particular
UH sorority is all female. Wellit's supposed to be all female only you
know what, I guess there's nosuch thing anymore as all female. Here
here's what's happening. In case youhaven't heard about this, there is a

(29:59):
transgender member of the Kappa Kappa Gammasorority at the University of Wyoming, and
the reason why there is is becausethe national chapter told them they had to
do this. This person is sixfoot two weighs two hundred and sixty pounds.
His name is Artemis. Artemis supposedlyidentifies as a female, and Artemis

(30:23):
is a member of this sorority.Now, if Artemis really was a quote
unquote female, and less Artemis werewas a lesbian, than one would think
he would not be aroused at allby the presence of scantily clad young women
on their way to the shower.But it's been reported this guy gets excited

(30:44):
when he sees some of his fellowsorority members on their way in a towel
to the shower, and it's beenshown that he is clearly aroused by the
presence of good looking young women,So you can understand why maybe the other
members of the sorority aren't real keenanhaving this guy as a member there's sorority

(31:07):
and aren't real happy that the nationalsororities forced them to do this, the
national chapters forced them to do it. Anyway. They were on Fox last
night along with their attorney talking aboutthis, and here's a little bit of
that conversation with Lord Ingram. Howdid all of this initially hit you when
you were told that a man wasto be a member of your sorority.

(31:30):
Yeah, we were all shocked.I can speak for myself saying never thought
this would happen to me, especiallyin a sorority, in a space for
women. We were never told itwas a unisex space. We joined under
the impression that it was a singlesex organization. Well, Jalen, I
read the accounts of what made thesisters of the sorority uncomfortable about Artemis.

(31:57):
What did he say to you orto any of you that you know that
made you uncomfortable? There were alot of uncomfortable moments in the sorority house,
and it just goes to show theimportance of women's spaces ultimately, and
that's why we're here today, iswe're fighting for the importance of women's spaces
and what it truly means to bea woman. We were promised from the
beginning that we would have a sisterhood, meaning only females, and our national

(32:22):
sorority has failed us. They haveblatantly ignored us and ignored our values and
valued someone else over us in thisuncomfortable situation, Laura, I just don't
see a way out for them.They want everyone to believe that being a
woman is nothing more than wearing lipstickand the pronouns that you use, and
we all know that it amounts towomanhood. It amounts to a lifetime of

(32:45):
experiences, and that's what they seekto deprive these young women of and that's
what we intend to fight for now, Cassie, I guess Artemis doesn't live
in the house, and according tothe lawsuit, was given a waiver so
you didn't have to live there.Now, why why is this, Laura.

(33:06):
We've seen extreme preferential treatment given tothe individual involved, and it's it's
very disheartening that when you're a sixfoot to two hundred and sixty pound man,
you're treated as the victim in today'ssociety. But the by laws are
very clear. This is an allwomen's organization. Kappa was formed under over
one hundred years ago to be thatsupport system for women so that they could

(33:27):
compete in the classroom against men.And now we just cease to exist.
We're nothing more than an idea ofself identification. This really is a war
on women. It is amazing howeffective it has been, this war on
women. So so they're trying tofight this out in court, you know,
to get their sorority back. Iwould devour them. I would just,
I would just I would not bea Kappa Kappagama anymore. Just change

(33:52):
your affiliation if you can find somebodywho's willing to back you up. Which
is the other problem. All right, one more for you, A couple
more examples. I guess we've talkeda lot about the Miller Light ad.
The Miller Light ad with the womenwith the s bomb and beer was founded
by women. Blah blah blah.Here's Greg Gutville's reaction to that. These

(34:13):
new marketing people are way better thaneveryone who came before, because, as
Miller Light points out, those creepsthey put ladies in bikinis. Women were
among the very first to brew beer. Ever, centuries later, how did
the industry pay homage to the foundingmothers of the beer and they put us
in bikinis? Wow, look atthe wild It's time beer meet it up

(34:37):
to women. So today Miller Lightis on a mission to clean up not
just there's the whole beer industries.Wow. The account in the company now
says women in bikinis shouldn't be forcedto mud wrestle to sell beer. I
know, I agree, so let'sgo without Fredo sauce. But they weren't
forced to do anything. They werepaid and if he didn't like, you

(35:00):
don't have to do it. That'swhat I say to the interns on back
shaved Sunday. The Miller Light adpremiere just weeks before Mulvaney's bud Light videos
popped up, and they saw howthat played out, so they tried to
bury their own ad like it wasa former Clinton associate. They acted just
like druggies flushing down their staff becausethe cops are at the door, except

(35:24):
the cops were actually their customers.So how did this happen? Well,
all these nauseating lectures are now masqueradingas ads. Are the colleges churning out
too many useless women's study grads,so they end up in companies demanding tampons
and men's rooms and jockstraps and thewomen's They view buyers as insects, stupid,

(35:45):
gross, easily manipulated, someone tobe punished, not celebrated. So
true, so true. Oh bythe way, speaking of bud Light,
which you just mentioned in addition toMiller, do you see what did you
see? The bub Light is comingout with a Camo can and they're trying
to do a fundraiser for military families. I mean, it's great that they

(36:07):
want to do a fundraiser for militaryfamilies, but you see what's going on
here, right, Camo cans.They're trying to They're trying to up the
testosterone rather significantly at Budweiser and budLight. Bud and Budweiser both doing this.
Listen, I understand they need totry to fight back here because you
know, they're they're hemoraging a lotof money. Their distributors are not happy.

(36:29):
It's a bad time at Budweiser andand Isaah Bush. But but I
think when you do this, theeffort becomes well, very transparent. Right.
But then again, if you're goingto try to hang your hat on
something to get people to support youagain and to forgive you, I guess
the military is about the best wayyou can go, all right, have
yourself a great evening. See tomorrowmorning, bright and early at five am,

(36:49):
and then I'll be back with youtomorrow afternoon at four on a nine fifty PPRC
