Why the legislature has ceded all of their power to the administration and they need to reclaim those powers for the balance of power. I explain and why it's important with a couple of news stories today. Also 60 minutes somehow talk to a gang member who admits how many drugs and humans he's smuggled across our border. If the US Wants to avoid becoming Europe, the deportations must continue and that means Canada. Step it up. Also, why are we still allowing guys that identify as girls to compete in women's sports and be treated like legitimate winners when they're not? It's time for an asterisk and maybe an actual winner's platform. While he's getting the medal over here, number two is getting the gold over on this side of the field. All that and more on today's podcast. Ever got a flat tire or find yourself on the side of the road looking to make sure you had a spare back in the days when you didn't have, you know, AA available to come get you? It's pretty much a big sigh of relief when you discover that that spare is indeed still there. Because it's even though it's not gonna be fun changing the tire, you can get back on the road. Once you do, being prepared for whatever is going wrong is really a way of life. You have that spare just in case and then you forget about it and you don't think about it until it comes up. Likewise, you need to be prepared for other emergencies. Fortunately, for most of the really big ones, you can get what you need from my Patriot supply.

All right, there's a few things that I want to make sure that we go over. First of all, the FBI is now responding to the ongoing attacks against Elon Musk. It, it appears as though everybody is saying these are lone wolf attacks. Are they law enforcement? Now, the FBI has received 48 reports of attacks on Tesla vehicles in the dealerships and charging stations so far just this month. Um, and it appears that they may be coordinated. Don't know yet, but wouldn't doubt it. All you have to do, though is coordinate a couple of them and then just the crazies take over from there. Um, but we have now moved a 10 person task force of special agents and intelligence analysts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. They've moved them into the Department of Treasury and the FBI's counterterrorism division. And they are specifically going after those people and those groups that are targeting Elon Musk and his company and your car, possibly. Speaking of cars, yesterday, big, big announcement. Hyundai has announced $21 billion of a US investment. They are bringing their, one of their factories here to the United States. They're going to be building cars here. This is another one of these things where the Trump tariffs, this part at least seems to be working. He is threatening these tariffs and, and companies are starting to move here into the United States because they want the tax break and they also don't want the tariff on their car. Did you see what Europe did yesterday? We have had tariffs so high, no car, no, no American car is selling over in, in Europe. Okay? One reason is their streets are really, really small and our trucks and SUVs are really, really big. So that's one reason. But the other is you can't afford them over there because the tariffs are so high. We don't have tariff, we didn't have tariffs on their cars. So Trump said 20% tariff. Well, they folded. They agreed to a two and a half percent tariff and it looks like we're going to do two and a half percent. So that's good, especially if you're a car dealer of anything foreign from Europe. At least that's a good thing. That looks like that should happen and be finalized this week. By the way, there's a story out today from cnbc. Tax revenue collected by the IRS set to plummet. Officials at the IRS and Treasury Department are anticipating tax revenue to drop more than 10% by April 15 compared to last year. The loss of tax receipts is expected as more individuals and businesses don't file taxes or attempt to Avoid paying balances owed to the irs. The amount. The amount of lost federal revenue could top $500 billion. Okay. Why? Officials say that the prediction is directly linked to the shifting taxpayer behavior and President Trump's cuts at the irs. Okay. When I read that, I'm like, mm, you know what this is? This is another thing coming from the left, the deep state, everything else. He can't cut those jobs at the irs. That's too important. We'll lose too much power. He can't get rid of those 80,000 people. And shifting. Wait, what, what was it shifting? Where was that? Receipts expected as more individuals and businesses don't file tax or attempt to avoid paying balances owed to the irs. Okay, nobody's shifting that. I mean, is there a new thing? I mean, I'm pissed at my taxes. I don't want to pay my taxes because I think they've wasted so much of my money, but I'm paying my taxes. I don't know any big movement that's saying we're not paying our tax. There was a bigger movement during the Tea Party than there is right now. But this is all a government nonsense story to get you to. To get you to believe that we're all gonna collapse because we've cut 80,000 IRS people that really hadn't even started doing anything yet. Uh, the House G O P is now insisting on Senate cooperation for the reconciliation talks. Uh, the Senate has broken down. This is for the big, beautiful bill. Uh, and the Senate needs to get their in gear. The country is at stake. You cannot stall on what Donald Trump is doing. It requires action and action now. This is a very delicate balance. He's got to have all the pieces in line. You can't hold a piece like tax cuts back. You can't hold the piece of regulation back. That's. That's the kindling. He's hitting sparks now, but he's got to have some kindling that can catch fire on the economy and Congress and the Senate. Get your in gear. Now. The House voting on restraining nationwide injunctions to stop the judicial overreach against Trump. This is absolutely imperative as well. We knew this was going to happen. What did they tell us as they were going after Donald Trump to. To make sure that he went to prison. What did they say? A is not going to be president again because we're going to put him in. In prison. But we learned a lot. The way to get this guy is to go after him with the judges in the court system. It didn't work, but they Doubled down after he was elected. Don't worry, we'll stop him in the courts. So anybody believes that this is just spontaneously happening because all of a sudden these leftist judges are like, you know what? I really care about the Constitution. I didn't care about it just a few months ago, but now I see how important the Constitution really is. This is nothing but another piece of failed strategy from the, the far left. And it's got to stop. I'm going to tell you in a minute, I'm going to tell you in a minute how our Constitution. Well, you know, let me do it now. Let me tell you how our Constitution is written and, and what each role of the branches of government, how the founders put this together. We don't trust our government now. Now that we went through a period to where we did trust our government, but it wasn't during the founding era. The founding era, all of the founders were like, don't trust the government. We gave this to you. And every, Nobody trusted. Even the, even government officials said, it's getting outta control, it's getting too big. I just ask for extra money so we could have some wood to put into the, into the potbelly stove to keep, you know, the chamber of Congress. Congress warm. They all feared it was going to get out of control because they all came out of a kind of totalitarianism with the, with the king. So what they put together is checks and balances. And you've heard this a million times, three forms of government, checks and balances. But let me give this to you so you can explain this to your children or to your friends that don't understand this. There are several things the founders were afraid of. One, big states are gonna gobble up and take all the power from the little states and they will just, they'll bully everyone around. The one they were worried about most was, was New York. New York was a big state and Delaware was like, we're a state there. Nobody's gonna listen to us. And sadly, Delaware, nobody listens to you now just because you deserve it, but.

Stu Burguiere
Yeah, if you would've done that, we would've been fine. Anyway. So what they did is they came up with the electoral college and everybody wants to now get rid of it. And I want to see a, I want you to see the progressive game plan here on the Constitution. Right now they're trying to get rid of the electoral college. What was that for? That was a check on the power of the big states. Like California, even Texas and New York, we have to have that so the little states don't have to live like, like you. Everybody wants to live in California or New York and New York doesn't have to live like the way Texas wants everybody to live. Okay? They want to take that check and balance out. They've done it before and you'll see here in a second. So we have the House of Representative based on census. So everybody gets, you know, representative, you know, checks and the electoral college. So that was to balance that concern out. Then when they made Congress, they gave congressmen a two year term. I mean, I can't even imagine how fast that goes. It must be like you're, you're running for election all the time. It's just two years. Really. Why? Because they put the purse strings. This is why every law that involves any kind of money must start in Congress. Because they're the closest to you, they're the fastest to get rid of. Every two years they start doing stuff that you don't like. You can vote them out. No other office has that every two years. And that's because they have the checkbook. If they start writing bad checks, if they start moving the country in the wrong way, you are the check on them, okay? All these things with money has to start with them because they're the closest to you and the fastest way to get somebody out legally. Now also a check on their out of control ways would be the Senate. So let's say Congress starts to act in a way that is all about the federal government and has nothing to do with the states. The Senate is supposed to be representatives from each state that are not elected. Instead they are appointed by each state. So the legislature and the governor get together and say, we want this guy to be our Senate representative. Why did they do that? Because they were afraid of the federal government getting so big and powerful that the Congress would just start thinking we're a federal agency. We're here to make sure we can grow the size of government. We can do all these things. And they knew that if Congress got outta control that way, they had to have the states there that only Chuck Schumer should only care about New York. Not the rest, just New York. He's fighting for what New York wants. But right now, because the progressives changed this around the turn of the century, what happened? Chuck Schumer is now that's a now a national election. Why shouldn't be? It shouldn't even be an election according to Congress, or I'm sorry, according to the Constitution. But the progressives passed an amendment to abolish that check. Notice the check on the states eating each other or the big states eating the small states that they want to take that out. They're working on that now. The next one that balanced the states versus the federal, they want to take that one out. And they did take that one out. So the Senate acts as a guard against an out of control government just growing bigger and bigger and bigger. The next one. What happens if the Senate colludes with the House against the Constitution? Well, now that you have taken away that, you know that check and balance of the Senate, it could happen. So what happens then? The veto power. That's why veto is so important. The administration can veto it, but that veto is only supposed to be if the government thinks, or I'm sorry, if the President thinks this is unconstitutional. Because remember, they all raised their hand not to say, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make sure we're making jobs, I'm gonna make sure that we've got everybody equal. No, they raise their hand to say, I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So the number one job of each of them is to make sure they're guarding their own house and their own power to be a check and balance against the other branches of government. So now if, if you have an administration that just starts to go out of control and begins to make its own laws and rule as a dictator, because he can, which is what the kind of administration we have had now since, well really since fdr. But these, the administration is way out of control and way out of balance. It's why half the country fears the President. No matter who it is, half the country fears that guy, he's going to come, he's going to shut me down, he could put me in jail because the administration has too much power. How did that happen? Because Congress again has the check on the administrative power. It is the check that says, you know what, we're not going to fund that. We're not going to fund them anymore. You know, if you're going to use the ATF that way, or the FBI, no funding for you, get it back in line or we cut it off. That's a big power move. The other thing is, don't you make a rule? What are you doing making rules? We pass laws here. You can't just go and make up your own rules. It all has to come through Congress. Well, the founders didn't realize that Congress would no longer be greedy about power. They would care about not being blamed for stuff more than their power. So Congress gave that power up to the administrative state. That's why this is all out of balance. They can cut off the money or change the laws, make sure that can't have the REINS act comes to mind. The founders knew that people hoard power, but now they're not. And that's why we're out of balance. I've been talking about the Ministry of Preborn now for a few years because their mission is personal to me. Every day, they're saving babies lives every single day. But those aren't the only lives they're saving. These aren't people shouting down expecting moms or, you know, any of that. They treat them with love and respect and offering them help in a time of real difficulty, even crisis. Most of these women are in cris. They feel completely alone. They feel like they have no other choice. The primary mission is really simple. When a pregnant mom sees her baby on an ultrasound for the first time, when she hears that heartbeat, twice as likely then to choose life. The secondary mission is to provide for the needs of the moms who need it. Because even when they say, oh, my gosh, that is a baby, many of them will say, but I can't afford. I don't know what to do. They're there for up to two years, giving mom everything she needs. This is such important work in a time when the left will claim that an unborn child is nothing more than a clump of cells and, you know, say that the left doesn't care. The right doesn't care about the moms or the babies after birth. We do make a tax deductible donation of $28. It'll sponsor one ultrasound. How many babies can you and your family save?

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. So President Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on nearly all goods imported from Canada. And he's been saying, you gotta work with us. You've got to secure the northern border. You've got. You've got to stop the drug cartels, the drugs and the human smuggling that is happening on our northern border. And everybody's like, oh, no, Canada would never do that. That's not a problem. Okay? It is a problem. It's a border. It's A problem. And it's porous. All of them are. We've got to do something about it and ask our friends on our border to. To help us. Well, they're not. 60 Minutes went up. I couldn't believe this was on 60 Minutes over the weekend. But they had a cartel smuggler on 60 Minutes. How do. How does 60 Minutes. I mean, is that in the phone book? Where do you. Where do you find a cartel smuggler? But they found one, and he went on record and he said, I'll always find a way to get people illegally across the border. Here's a piece of what he said.
- [20:05]
Reporter
This video was reported in January. A group of men who just crossed the border ran to an SUV that drove them deeper into New York. You'll also see a woman getting out of the car and go north to Canada. This man told us he coordinated the handoff and took the video. Can you tell us who you work for?
- [20:26]
Cartel Smuggler
For the Sinaloa cartel.
- [20:28]
Reporter
He goes by the name Javi and agreed to speak with us only with his camera off. He said he can't risk his identity being exposed. How does this work? They tell you where to go. They tell you how many people you have to bring across each week.
- [20:44]
Cartel Smuggler
Exactly. That's how it goes. They provide the people. They have more people who are behind all this. Looking for customers, finding them, and summoning them to certain locations.
- [20:55]
Reporter
We found Javi through his online ads, which he says TikTok recently took down.
- [21:02]
Stu Burguiere
Wow. Here he is talking about smuggling babies and fentanyl across the border.

Cartel Smuggler
I get more into the US but also it goes from the US To Canada. And weapons.
- [22:02]
Stu Burguiere
Interesting, isn't it? So that's what we're dealing with. And I don't know if you saw the video of the. The people that you know were. Were boarded up on airplanes and sent to. Where was it? Venice. Not Venezuela, but El Salvador. Did you see that? Trump posted this amazing video. You didn't. Guys didn't see this? Oh, we got to look it up and play it, it's this amazing video of the plane arriving in El Salvador and them getting on the plane, getting off the plane, and then, you know, ankle and bracelets on their wrists, walking hunched down into this new prison. And I got to tell you, that video itself, if I were thinking about coming here, I would immediately go, I'm not going there. If that's what happens to you, I am not going there. It sent such a strong, strong message. This is how we treat people who are coming here, who are bad guys. Now. This is the, this is the one that Trump is. Or that the administration is in court now because an activist judge is like, you can't just do that. You know? What? Why? Well, because you didn't vet them. No, I tell you what we did. We gave them exactly the same kind of vetting that the last president gave when he let them all in. None. Now, these people were on a list, okay? Doesn't mean that they are. We're all gang members. But you're here. You're here illegally. Bye. Bye. I know that sounds heartless, but you. I really believe that they all need to go home. All of them need to go home. And a lot of these people were not just on a list. They were known to be gang members, and a lot of them had committed crimes here in America. Bye, bye. See ya.
- [23:59]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah, I mean, if you. I love that. I heard some of these people, some of these people don't even have criminal records in America. Well, first of all, if they're here illegally, to me, they have a criminal record. They act like this is not a crime. Well, there's a law, okay? And I understand there's some nuance within that law, but, like, there's a law, you're not supposed to come here. They know they're not supposed to come here. Many of them had criminal records at their home country and not here. Again, does that mean that we don't, that we're gonna leave them here? No, because they didn't commit a crime that we know of yet here. I mean, the point is to prevent those, right? I mean, it's possible, right, that they made a mistake. There are some claims that a couple of these people should not have been going to prison. And even if they should be deported to their home country, if they didn't commit a major crime, they don't necessarily need to go to the El Salvadorian lockup. All that being said, find those problems, solve those problems, right? I mean, I like what Elon Musk said about this in the White House a couple Weeks ago when he was asked about it and they said like, hey, you. And this has happened with Doge. Hey, you posted you saved $1.9 billion. And actually that had been canceled in the previous administration. And he said, yeah, we're not gonna get everything right. Like, when we notice one of those things, we're gonna fix it and we'll get it fixed right away. Like, that is actually a normal human way of dealing with an issue like that. And I think it's so weird in Washington to hear it, but, like, that's okay. Now if you happen to be the person who was sent to this prison, you're not gonna like it very much.
- [25:33]
Stu Burguiere
And she shouldn't have been here in the first place.
- [25:34]
Hillary Kennedy
But you shouldn't. That's the point. There is an initial thing that puts you into this bucket. If you commit a crime by crossing into this country, which we have warned you not to participate in, if you do that, there are consequences to it. And if you're wrongly sent to this prison, they should absolutely correct those mistakes.
- [25:55]
Stu Burguiere
Well, I have to tell you, I mean, every message he is sending is the exact opposite message that Biden was sending. Yeah, he's sending right now. Even if what Biden was sending is even if you're a terrorist, even if you're a murderer, we're not really going to check. So come on in. You're fine now. You might be a good person. You might be, you know, a dad of 16, whatever, and you're just coming in. But no, we don't know. But now we don't know. So don't come. Leave. Leave right now. Leave on your own. He. He is begging people to self deport. And when you see the video, I gotta play for you. It is amazing. When you see this video. It is. I watched it, I was like, oh, we have it. Yeah, Go ahead and play this. Watch this shows the airplane. Now here they come down the stairs and look how they're all marched in a line and they're all being marched right into this maximum security prison compound. And no, thank you.
- [27:03]
Hillary Kennedy
Doesn't look great.
- [27:04]
Stu Burguiere
Does not look great. Look at that. No, thank you.
- [27:08]
Hillary Kennedy
And this is Bukele, who actually tweeted this to the, the president of El Salvador.
- [27:15]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. I mean, you are not.
- [27:17]
Hillary Kennedy
If you shave heads here.
- [27:18]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. If you are thinking about coming to the country or you're here illegally, would you not be packing up everything right now going, yeah, I'm not gonna.
- [27:29]
Hillary Kennedy
Why mess with it? Right? And it's the messaging. You know, as much as we've always been very, very difficult or tough on illegal immigrants. It's true. There's always been a part of me that does acknowledge the fact that we treat and have for decades treated illegal immigration. Kinda like it's a speeding ticket.
- [27:49]
Stu Burguiere
Correct.
- [27:50]
Hillary Kennedy
You shouldn't do it.
- [27:51]
Stu Burguiere
Correct.
- [27:51]
Hillary Kennedy
But we're not really gonna do much about it. And if I were in a situation like some horrible country, everything was overrun, we were all poor, would I risk a speeding ticket? Yeah, maybe. You know, I mean, this is gonna surprise people. Occasionally I drift a couple of miles an hour over that speed limit here in the United States. That's off the record for anyone listening. But like, yeah, you know, occasionally that happens and I do it for almost no gain. I do it because I wanna get home 13 seconds faster. If your entire family was.
- [28:24]
Stu Burguiere
You got all that recorded, right? Okay, go ahead.
- [28:27]
Hillary Kennedy
Was devastated.
- [28:28]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [28:28]
Hillary Kennedy
You and the United States government was constantly sending you the signal. Sure, it's kinda like breaking the rules. But don't worry about it. We got sanctuary cities here for you. The president was in a debate. He just won Joe Biden and he told you, what should we do with illegal immigrants? We should welcome them. That's the real policy. Like I could. It almost takes away a good chunk of the responsibility of the illegal immigrant. As bad. That's how bad our policy has been. The policy is different now. The policy has been communicated quite clearly to anyone who would consider coming here.
- [29:02]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Or is here illegally. Yeah.
- [29:05]
Hillary Kennedy
Get out.
- [29:05]
Stu Burguiere
Get out, get out. And he's doing all of this to not have to round people up. He's starting with the worst of the worst and showing the examples of what is happening to them to say to you, please make the right decision. Leave on your own. We don't want to round you and your family up. We don't want you to go through this. You have an opportunity. In fact, if you let us know, we're going to give you a special pass. That means you could come back to the country and apply for citizenship. Not ahead of the line, but you can. If we catch you here and you haven't self deported and you're totally a law abiding citizen, you're never coming back. You're on a list. You're never allowed to come back. Okay. He's sending these messages and telling people, I think with compassion, hey, we might come for you one day. You really should leave now. We don't want to make this an ugly thing. You came in the wrong way. Sure, we encouraged it, whatever, but not anymore. And this has to be done or we turn into Europe. Why is no one looking at what's happening to Europe and concerned? I was talking to a friend last night, kind of is in the circle of the no. And he said, I think the world is preparing for a three front war. And I was like, wait, that doesn't sound good. He said, you know, look at the actions, look at what's happening around the world right now. He said it could go horribly wrong with Europe. And it appears that there are players on all sides that want to have a war in Europe. You can make your own decisions on if that's true and why. But also in, in the Middle east there everybody is preparing for war and preparing for a possible war with Iran and then China is preparing for war. And if, if there is a huge war in the Middle east, then we're brought into it. And a war in Europe and we're brought into it. You don't think the, the third leg would stand up and take Taiwan? They take it in a heartbeat. Because we wouldn't, we would not be able to fight a three theater war. We just are not prepared for it. And you know, the one in Europe, if we're fighting in Europe, you know, we're approaching a place to where that could be a hundred year war. Because that'll all be about ideology. And we're not talking the Russians, we're talking about the Islamic State. You know, they're, they're all, all these Islamists have been brought in and then they change and then they have no go zones and then they set up Sharia courts. Do you think that's going to stop at some time? France, Germany, Holland, Sweden. Do you really think all of a sudden they're gonna go, yeah, but that's enough. We're not gonna go past this. We're gonna have our Sharia courts. Uh, but we respect you Lutherans over here. Of course not. Of course not. They have to take care of their own countries and the population that has been moving in and that is destroying their countries and making them an enemy of the freedoms of mankind. I don't want to deal with it. They need to. But we're in the same boat. We must protect the homeland we have. We'll never be able to save anyone if we don't save ourselves first. If we don't know who's here. We don't control the crime in our own cities. We, we don't have cheap and effective energy. We don't have an educated, not miseducated, but an educated population. A Hardworking population, somebody that, a population that understands its own country, its own history and its own values. You don't survive, you don't survive. So we have a very clear job that we have to do. And I think Donald Trump is doing a good job job of it so far. But the rest of it is up to us. But we must act. I mean, I really think that God, God does what we can't do. I couldn't have stopped that bullet. Couldn't have done it. Nobody could have stopped that bullet. God stopped that bullet from hitting him. I've never seen anything like that. If that wasn't a clear, almost Moses parting the Red Sea style miracle, I don't know if I've ever seen one, then that was a miracle. But God does the things we can't do. We now have to do the things that we have to do. And one of those things is if you want the government to be less powerful, we have to stop giving it power. If you want the government to do less, we have to take on the responsibility to do more in our own communities, neighborhoods and family. That's the way we fix this thing. But the time to fix it is right now. We may only have another three years, and who knows what happens in three years. Let's make sure we're doing all the hard work ourselves. Right now. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Stu, what is the. In sports, there's somebody that has, I think it's baseball has an asterisk after their, after their record.
- [34:43]
Hillary Kennedy
The famous one is, is Roger Maris because he hit his 61st home run.
- [34:49]
Stu Burguiere
That's right. Which was more than Babe Ruth, right?
- [34:52]
Hillary Kennedy
Babe Ruth had 60, but, but Maris did it in 162 games instead of 154. So they there for a long time in the official record book, there was an asterisk. After that, hey, he had eight more games. That's why he was able to do this. They did take that away eventually, and obviously that record has been broken since several times. But they did take this, this asterisk away.
- [35:13]
Stu Burguiere
I think they should put an asterisk on Babe Ruth. It just says the guy couldn't run, he ate hot dogs and drank beer and he was a fat guy. And yet look at him, huh?
- [35:25]
Hillary Kennedy
I mean, arguably the greatest baseball player of all time.
- [35:28]
Stu Burguiere
I know, and look at him.
- [35:29]
Hillary Kennedy
That's an American hero right there.
- [35:30]
Stu Burguiere
Now they're doing steroids and everything else and you're like, oh, you beat the fat guy's record, big deal.
- [35:36]
Hillary Kennedy
That's a fair point.
- [35:37]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. The reason why I bring this up is because there is Aiden Gallagher, who is an 11th grade sprinter from McDaniel High School in Portland, Oregon. You know where this is going?
- [35:49]
Hillary Kennedy
I. I already do.
- [35:50]
Stu Burguiere
Yes. Okay. Yeah. All right. So you know, in the girls 400 meter varsity race, he beat his competition by more than seven seconds.
- [36:00]
Hillary Kennedy
Wow. What an achievement.
- [36:01]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, what an achievement.
- [36:02]
Hillary Kennedy
What do you mean he.
- [36:03]
Stu Burguiere
Hmm. Well, it's a guy.
- [36:07]
Hillary Kennedy
Okay. Yeah, a guy.
- [36:08]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, his guy.
- [36:09]
Hillary Kennedy
What sport was it?
- [36:10]
Stu Burguiere
It's a, It's a girls 200 meter race.
- [36:13]
Hillary Kennedy
Do you see, do you see the problem with that at all?
- [36:15]
Stu Burguiere
I do, I do, but apparently nobody else does. But I see it clearly and glad to see you see it. And everybody in this audience sees the problem. And so they were cheering him on and then he gets up on the podium and he's like, so he's just won a second. A second race. He dominates now in the girls track and field again. Now here's the, here's my. Why I brought up the asterisk. I think, I honestly think that there should be some group that comes out and they set up the two boxes or even three boxes and you know, you can go and stand over there in that number one thing. That's fine. We're gonna have another award ceremony just off to the side of that one where the girl who came in second place, third place and fourth place, we aboard them first, second and third. And every one of these records in these communities that are saying that was a girl should have an asterisk. You. We, we're going to have to remember who actually won as a female. We're going to. It's going to come back, gang. It's not going to be like this forever. And I just, I would like to start. I mean, I think that person should run and his family or his good friends can go, oh my gosh, that is so good. You go girl. And everybody else can be like, yeah, we're meeting over here. Cause here's the real first place winner for women.
- [37:38]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah, I think that's a great way of looking at it. I think too, we've put a lot of focus on gender for the story.
- [37:46]
Stu Burguiere
What.
- [37:46]
Hillary Kennedy
When we talk about how, hey, it's wrong and we go into kind of the gender. How crazy it is that people say you can change gender by just wishcasting.
- [37:55]
Stu Burguiere
It and all of that real story is what it's doing to girls.
- [38:00]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah. I think it's fairness.
- [38:01]
Stu Burguiere
It is. Right. And, and not only that you've wanted to be a, a champion your whole life.
- [38:08]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah.
- [38:09]
Stu Burguiere
And here comes some guy to take it away from you. And everybody is cheering and saying, you go, girl. It's a guy.
- [38:16]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah.
- [38:16]
Stu Burguiere
Seven seconds ahead. If that was a girl that did it, they would deserve to be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
- [38:23]
Hillary Kennedy
Right.
- [38:24]
Stu Burguiere
It's a guy doing it.
- [38:25]
Hillary Kennedy
That's why it's stupid. And it's funny because the gender conversation that we've had at large is really important. You can't just change your gender based on this. We're not going to necessarily accept all of that. But it's separate from this. And a good example of this is. I remember when my son was playing in. He was in a 12U tournament. You know baseball. He was 12 and he was playing in a tournament. It was a good tournament, like really high level teams there. And one of the teams had a girl on it. And now the average pitcher at that time probably could throw, you know, mid to upper 50s, right. Miles per hour. Some of the fast pitchers would throw maybe mid 60s. This girl was throwing like 73 on the gun. I mean, she was throwing harder than almost every other pitcher in this tournament. And there was no uproar about it. It wasn't like, how dare she switch genders and play. No one cares. Because she was essentially, I, you know, I hate to say it this way, but playing up right. Like, she was playing in a tougher arena and no one complained about it because she was good enough to compete at that level.
- [39:32]
Stu Burguiere
And it's the opposite.
- [39:34]
Hillary Kennedy
That is a problem.
- [39:35]
Stu Burguiere
There is also something that all guys, no matter what you preach, they're like, you were beat by a girl.
- [39:43]
Hillary Kennedy
There is an element.
- [39:45]
Stu Burguiere
They're going to, they're going to get better. If there's any way to get better, they're going to get better. Just by saying you were beaten by a girl.
- [39:52]
Hillary Kennedy
I will say not only did this girl pitch very well, I saw her hit a over the fence home run in the same game.
- [40:00]
Stu Burguiere
Wow.
- [40:01]
Hillary Kennedy
She jacked a home run. And I was like, wow. Now she was, she was a big girl. She was, she had some, yeah, she could do it. She had some muscles.
- [40:09]
Stu Burguiere
I have no problem, honestly. But like, I have no problem with them playing up. If girls could play at the same level, I think that would be outrageous to watch. It'd be great. You know, here's a, here's a girl who's just like outpowering this guy. All right, go for it.
- [40:27]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah. I mean, I'd be a little, I'd be worried In a physical sport, especially as they get older, right? Like, you know, you have a football, you know, if you're gonna go out there and play running back, I'd be concerned you're gonna get killed. Like, so that is a different story. But, like, when it's not a physical sport like that, they go out and compete. I don't think the. The American people don't care. Like, they want girls to have a chance to compete with each other in a fair context.
- [40:51]
Stu Burguiere
Yes.
- [40:51]
Hillary Kennedy
That is not. This is not. It's not insane. It is completely normal, and it's the way it's been forever, and that's the way it should continue to be.
- [40:59]
Stu Burguiere
That's why sports, you know, when you say about football, that's why sports, it's different than competitive, you know, first, second, and third kind of sports. This is. If you can compete, go for it, Go for it. Because we want to win. You know, all of us want to win, and we're playing as a team. When this is happening. You. You got a guy competing against girls. Girls are not as strong as men are. Their bodies are just different. They're going to be faster, they're going to be stronger. I mean, I'm not going to be. But, you know, most men, and I put myself loosely in that category, most men can do those things. Okay? And I don't want to see a girl beaten by a guy, and I mean physically beaten up by a guy. I don't want a girl in a boxing ring against a guy, even though he's wearing a dress. No, no. Thank you. You know, I'm sorry. But maybe it's chival chivalry that still lives, and some of us.
- [42:06]
Hillary Kennedy
Sexism is what it is.
- [42:07]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, it is sexism. Yeah. No, it's chivalry. Yeah, it's chivalry.
- [42:11]
Hillary Kennedy
That's the good word for it.
- [42:12]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [42:13]
Hillary Kennedy
They would call it sexism. I would call it chivalry.
- [42:15]
Stu Burguiere
Yes.
- [42:15]
Hillary Kennedy
But it's true. I mean, I.
- [42:17]
Stu Burguiere
Because it has the word shiv in it.
- [42:19]
Hillary Kennedy
I say this to people, and especially around here. And the main culprit for this is our own Hillary Kennedy, who. I can't watch the female boxing thing. No, I can't watch it. I can't watch the female MMA stuff. I'm not saying they're not great athletes. I'm not saying it's incredible. It is incredible competition. I can't watch a woman get punched in the face 50 times.
- [42:42]
Stu Burguiere
I have a hard time watching guys with MMA.
- [42:45]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah.
- [42:46]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, it's just like at some Point. You're like, can you. Can you guys. Okay, can we stop this? Can we stop this? This seems. And they're like. They both would look at you and go, what? I want to rip him apart.
- [42:55]
Hillary Kennedy
Right.
- [42:56]
Stu Burguiere
And you'd be like, okay. That there's something unnatural here going on. I'm uncomfortable with women. It's horrible.
- [43:02]
Hillary Kennedy
Yeah. I mean, I can watch. You know, I've always been a boxing fan. I never got really into mma, but I've always been a boxing fan. And I would love watching those big.
- [43:09]
Stu Burguiere
Those big matches. Me too.
- [43:11]
Hillary Kennedy
But with women. Like, there was a match they had. It was the Tyson Paul thing that was on Netflix. And I can't tell you how many people I've talked to. And almost everybody says the same thing about that match. First of all, they say it was a joke and blah, blah, blah. What I actually was. I thought the whole spectacle was relatively enjoy. I had a good time watching it. It was kind of a crazy thing. But everyone says, but what was really good was the match before it, and it was two women who were beating the hell out of each other to the extent that in the post game interview, the woman who I think she lost is out there and her eye is like falling out of her head. There's just a flap of skin. Like her entire forehead just kind of plops open. Like she just had plastic surgery that went really, really wrong. And she's just talking. There's just blood dripping down her face. And like, everyone's like, that was an incredible match. And I'm sure it was, if you're into that. But, like, I just. I don't know what it is. I can't watch a woman, even if it's another woman punching her, get punched in the face over and over again.
- [44:12]
Stu Burguiere
You know, I just can't do it. Have you ever seen those, like, those Denny's fights where all the women get up and they just start dragging each other by the hair?
- [44:20]
Hillary Kennedy
So is that.
- [44:21]
Stu Burguiere
I can't even watch those. I see that. I'm like, this is disturbing. I don't. I don't want what's happening here.
- [44:27]
Hillary Kennedy
I don't know if that makes me a squish or what. I'm totally with you on that. And, like, so I have no desire to see that. And I think. I don't know, maybe there's. I feel like there's something in being a male and a husband and a father and all that stuff that's kind of built into you that says, like, violence against women, bad violence against men, Violence against women. Bad. And I don't think that's something we should run away from, frankly. I think that's a good instinct. Generally.
- [44:54]
Stu Burguiere
I think it's going to be remembered, and maybe I'm wrong. I think it'll be remembered just a little bit. Like, I don't know, the Christians and the lions.
- [45:01]
Hillary Kennedy
Okay.
- [45:02]
Stu Burguiere
You know what I mean? It's cool to watch two lions fight.
- [45:05]
Hillary Kennedy
It is.
- [45:05]
Stu Burguiere
But when you throw a Christian in there, I don't think they really have anything but a prayer of surviving. Not gonna make it. Not gonna make it. I don't know how people found that entertaining.
- [45:17]
Hillary Kennedy
I'm sure it was entertaining, but was it, you know? Well, I mean, I've watched it in movies many times.
- [45:23]
Stu Burguiere
No, you haven't. No, you haven't. I mean, you haven't really seen. I mean, can you imagine sitting there in the arena and cheering as a human being was ripped apart by a lion?
- [45:34]
Hillary Kennedy
Horrible, even. There are. There's a certain level of horror movie that gets to the point where I can't watch. I think when I was 20, you know, I'd be like, I know it's fake, but there's a certain level of it. Now. They really. I mean, some of these movies, the Terrifier Secret series being one of them, I can't. I never make it through that movie.
- [45:54]
Stu Burguiere
Sounds horrible.
- [45:54]
Hillary Kennedy
It's basically just like it's for horror movie nerds, I would say. And basically every. Don't watch. Don't watch it.
- [46:01]
Stu Burguiere
I'm not going to just.
- [46:02]
Hillary Kennedy
I'm advising everyone in the audience, don't go watch it.
- [46:05]
Stu Burguiere
No, I'm not going to. Don't.
- [46:06]
Hillary Kennedy
But it is basically every death as gruesome as possible. And in a way, because horror movie nerds like practical effects and they like to talk about how amazing practical effects are. We've had a couple of them who work here and they're always like, oh.
- [46:21]
Stu Burguiere
But the practical effects.
- [46:23]
Hillary Kennedy
But I mean, it is horrifically torturous, gruesome stuff. Many times two women and I had no stomach for that anymore. I don't know. I'm just getting old. I'm turning into a squish or wuss, whatever it is.
- [46:39]
Stu Burguiere
You really are, but I'm there.
- [46:40]
Hillary Kennedy
I can't do it. I can't do it. I don't want to watch it. There's no reason for me to bring that into my head. To watch it makes you terribly uncomfortable.
- [46:49]
Stu Burguiere
No, there's no reason to put it in your head. None. But what was the name of it again?
