So, we've got Rob Parley coming up today at 205. And we'll talk with him about some geopolitics. So that's coming up in the third hour. 253-59-5. These two-gart Motors text line 253-595.

Larry stationed in Arizona back in the 70s, they never changed from daylight savings because it made it the same as California, which was primary, which was primary to the state. What do you mean primary to the state? I don't guess I'll understand that reference there. Joe writes there, no wonder kids are so overweight nowadays. They get curbside service everywhere they go, whereas we walked and rode bikes to almost everything. Some of that has to do with the fact that we've become helicopter parents. I mean, when I was a kid, I would leave the house in the morning, and I would wander all over my grandfather's farm doing stuff and find things to do, going down by the creek and probably completely unaware, maybe like all the water moccasins. I didn't even know about that. You don't even think about that. And just be gone for hours. I'd be gone for hours. And I was never even concerned about it. And I would go home for lunch and then take off again. Now, I mean, my daughter went out in our front yard and I couldn't see her. We'd go looking for her, you know. even though we kind of live out in the country a little bit. I think we as helicopter parents have cut back on a lot of that. I mean, that's one of the things that my daughter likes so much about the TV show Stranger Things. It was fascinating to see a lifestyle for kids that she never knew, one where they can, you know, their friends get all ride their bicycles all around the, you know, the countryside and not have to check in for two minutes. It was, she founds to be very interesting and desirable.
Let's see here. Regarding time, I had a trip to Maine, November one year. We stayed in a great place. It was right on the ocean in Portland, Maine. Anyway, as soon as I got settled in my room, which is around 4.30, I took a walk along the beach, and the sun was already going down. So this would be eastern standard time, slow time since it was November. My great uncle, who would have been in my grandfather's generation, once told me that Kentucky really ought to be in the central time zone. He was talking about the entire state, I was told, and said verified. that the family that owned the Courage Journal newspaper decided that we should be the Eastern Time Zone because that's what the, that was the zone to be in through the political cloud. At least half of Kentucky got into the Eastern Times Times. Really? I didn't know that. Very interesting. Very interesting. I mean, I guess what Louisville is in the Eastern Time Zone along with Lexington? Is Indianapolis in the Eastern Time Zone?
Well, you have, I mean, I mean, I have no doubt that there's probably some political club being pushed around to dictate who, what, what times did you get into from time to time? I have no doubt that's probably true. Um, two, five, three, five, nine, five, nine, these two Gart Motors, that's excellent two, five, three, five, nine. I mean, I don't talk about Sophie Cunningham very often, but in the story. I think is fascinating. She plays for the Indiana fever, and she made a little bit of news. It doesn't seem like it should be news, but it is news. Well, she said basically that... Biological men and boys should not be competing against biological girls in competition. Should not be in bathrooms. I mean, that's a sensible common sense position and how now it's controversial. The Indiana Fever were playing the Seattle Storm the other night in Seattle, and two young fans, two girls, minors, have brought signs to the game. thanking Sophie Cunningham for speaking up for young women. And one of the owners of the Seattle Storm marched down in front of the fans and began berating them in front of people, cursing them out. Fans were attacking them, chewing them out, calling them trash and garbage. One fan tried to trip them as they walked by. It just, this is one of these, this is one of these positions and stories where I just don't understand the backlash to having that feeling. I mean, if, if the, if the position was of the pro trans movement was simply, you don't have to agree with it, just be nice. I would disagree with that. If you meet someone who's trans, I don't think you have a right to harm them anyway or to be disrespectful. I mean, I think you should be respectful of them. Within reason. I mean, I'm not going to go along and pretend that a man and address is a woman. But you can be friendly and respectful. And, you know, if they drop them, pick it up, I'm handed to them. I mean, just you can be treated like a decent human being. We should. But it's remarkable that the side of the aisle that is constantly harping about being tolerant, being accepting, is so emphatically intolerant of people that disagreed with them. When Sophie Cunningham made her comment, she said, I don't hate trans people. I have nothing against people. I just don't think the biological men should be playing against biological men because I think there's an unfair advantage. And I don't think men should be showering and changing clothes in women's spaces. Beyond that, I don't care. That should not be a controversial statement. It's remarkable how controversial is with the left and really with our media.
That's treated as an extreme position, even though the vast majority of Americans agree with it. By the way, the owner that went down and chewed out the two young fans has been sanctioned by the W&B. Good for them. Celeste Keeton has been fined and suspended from attending the team's next five home games. Imagine being so worked up that you go and you'd berate a girl. for thanking a female athlete for standing up for girls. And I'm not saying that there are men that agree that trans women are women, but it's by large women that are that are fueling this movement. And I just, I find it remarkable how many women are so willing to give up the progress made. in a search for equality, in fairness, that they're willing to give it up and turn their spaces and turn their, you know, their opportunities over to men pretending to be women. It's just remarkable to me how the willingness to do that. How you see these organizations honoring women of the year, it would be a man. And it's celebrated.
And you see people making comments about Sophie Cunningham who played on her high school football team. She was the kicker for her high school football team and are saying things like she had no problem with men and women playing the same sport then. And the response is so obvious. That shows that it's not bigotry because nobody has a problem with a woman trying to play against men on their terms. Nobody has a problem with Sophie Cunningham competing on a boy's team because she has no physical advantage. Maybe a skilled advantage, but that's got nothing to do with biology or physiology. The objections to men competing against women in women's sports is because. 99% of the time men have a physical advantage. They have a built-in advantage over women biologically, physiologically. That's the objection. And also the objection to forcing women to change clothes in front of men. I would absolutely have an issue if my daughter was playing on a sports team and there was a biological boy playing on a sports team. And they had to share the same dressing room. I would absolutely have a problem with it. I think my wife would have a problem with it. I mean, I tell you, I mean, no school administrator would want to cross Laura Glover. She's the strongest advocate I know for issues like this. Sophie Cunningham's position is... should be uncontroversial. I mean, I don't think it is controversial. I haven't really talked about it now because it's kind of it's a common sense position, but it's remarkable how how that that position is being categorized as an extreme position. It's an extreme position to think that women should have a locker room that's just for them. That's an extreme position now. It's an extreme position that women are typically not as strong and smaller than men should have a classification that's just for them. That's an extreme position now, according to a lot of our media and one side of the political health by a large. It's not an extreme position. It's a common sense position. And I think the tide is turning in that regard.
But those that are supported, though, are getting much more aggressive about trying not to lose ground. And I think that's what compelled the owner of the Seattle Storm to go down and berate these young girls because they fear that they're losing the PR battle. Imagine being so angry about a sign that a 15-year-old girl has that you'd go and you'd berate them and cuss them out in front of all people sitting around them. Imagine being so angry at a 50-year-old girl that a grown man will be in their face calling them garbage, which video showed them doing. Even if you disagree with their point of view, be a grown-up. Be a decent human being. 253-9-9. Let's see here. Dave writes, I agree with Sophie Cunningham 110%. When you are unable to voice your opinion, we wind up exactly where we are in this country today. Well, that's it again. Even if Sophie Cunningham had a controversial opinion, she doesn't deserve to be berated for it or for fear of losing. You didn't start a business just to keep the lights on.

I'd say my style is that I just kind of outwork everybody until I get there because I'm not a quitter. It's just you. It's yourself. Everything else is team-oriented. The motivation, it was a sort of anger at myself for being weak. That ends up being the driving factor. That anger, that pride, that ego, I think it's a muscle. It gets stronger.

They're not facing calls for, you know, you call, you know, calls for losing their position or to be sanctioned or to be suspended, things like that. You can respectfully disagree. You can, you can have civil disagreements in this country, allegedly.
There are no fiscal advantage, not to mention there are women's high school football teams. That's the other distinction regarding girls, the high school football teams, that is. Well, then that's right. Again, if Sophie Cunningham wanted to try out for the NBA and made the team, nobody would be protesting. But yet if an NBA basketball player decided to... try out for a WMEA team and made the team, then you would have protests. And that's the point is nobody cares about a girl's playing on boys because they don't have an advantage. See, it's always portrayed and presented as bigotry. But if bigotry is the issue, then you'd have objections to it in either direction. All the objections are boys invading girl space. Nobody gives a rip that a girl tries out for the football team or the boys soccer team. Or you even have, I mean, this seems weird to me, but girls trying out for the boys' wrestling team. I probably would have an issue with that just as a father of a girl. But nobody has an issue with Sophie Cunningham playing on the boys' football team as a kicker because there's no advantage to be had. Ryan writes, Larry, men and women need their separate spaces. It's healthy. I knew we were in trouble society when the Boy Scouts admitted girls. I mean, I don't mind the Boy Scouts admitting girls. If it's just sitting around and doing activities and teaching things like honor and character and those things. I mean, that's fine. I don't care about that stuff. you need you separate boys and girls when it involves activities that that or are are events where they'll be like overnight stays camping out together um sharing bathrooms sharing showers i mean listen boys and girls are physiologically different they're physically different they're i mean we're different in so many different ways not greater than or less than but just different you can be you can be equally as valuable, which I believe, and still recognize that there are physical differences. I think women are more nurturing the men. You know, I think men are stronger and more physically imposing than women. It's okay to be different. There's nothing wrong with that.
And I don't mind men and women competing each other if it's like, say, a chess tournament, you know, or an academic team or debate team. There's no advantage there. Nobody is objecting to men and boys and girls and men and women competing in spelling bees, you know, or academic competitions. Does anybody, for people who are arguing that this is about bigotry, what's your response to that? That nobody cares that boys and girls competing each other in academic competitions. Nobody cares. It's using the bathroom and showers and competing in sports where there's a distinct difference in strength and size. That's when people have objections to it. I mean, the people that are calling a bigotry, they know it's not. They know it's not. They use that word, they use that charge to silence people because they don't want pushback and they don't want a debate because it's an argument they can't win. So it's easier to just end it by accusing them of something awful. A little geopolitics. We're going to talk a little bit about, obviously, touch on the U.S. and Iran. I don't know how much time we'll spend. I feel like it's recycling a lot of the information regarding the U.S. and Iran, although there are issues going on today that we'll probably have to address U.S. Iran mediator trying to salvage talks. Tensions beginning to flare as well. and President Trump giving some pretty harsh warnings to Iran. So we'll talk about that with Dr. Farley. We'll get into a little conversation. Just a brief update on Ukraine to Russia. And we're going to talk about the relationship between the United States and Canada. uh the impact of tariffs and president trump making comments regarding the the northern border we hear so much about immigration in the southern border and president trump now sending in the alarms about the northern border we'll talk about that with dr farley coming up today at 205. 253, 5959. These two guard motors at text line 253, 559. We'll get to all of your calls, questions, and comments here on a program. And if you would like to weigh in, feel free to do. So it's a great day out there and great conversation as well. And always enjoy your feedback and your conversation. So just give us a shout. And we'll be happy to discuss with you, whatever topic may be on your mind. We've talked a little bit about, well, actually talked a lot about this yesterday, about the hearings with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Nothing about really get into a lot of it again today, but I came across a nugget information. I thought it was kind of interesting. You could talk about the hearing itself and whether it was productive, and typically hearings on Congress, even if they're well-intended, are typically not very productive, to be perfectly honest. They're just not. They are...
They are, in my view, in my view, oftentimes turned into opportunities for politicians to create viral moments to get their name out. That's just reality. But I think that there's legitimate questions to be asked in this regard. And there doesn't seem to be any interest on the left's part. to ask them of questions and to give fair consideration. For instance, Senator Paul said that the Democrats were given access to what they view as significant evidence to wrongdoing of Anthony Fauci and offered them all of the evidence that they wanted to bring up and discuss. And to access it, they had a simple code. You had type of the code. You have access to it. And the code was never used a single time. There was no effort at all to even see what they might be presenting. Now, I don't know what evidence really that they had because there was nothing really came of the hearing. But there was just zero interest in looking at any of it. There was zero interest in even seeing or examining what was being presented as evidence to see if there's anything to it. It was defend and deflect no matter what that they had, no matter what they were going to present. Not a single time was that code used by anybody on the Democrat Party side. And it just, it's always astounded me how we had such little intellectual curiosity about, about so much about how COVID even began.
People having feelings that it might have come from a lab was instantly shut down as misinformation and dangerous, dangerous speech. And yet we know from Dr. Anthony Fauci's diaries himself that they believe that at the very beginning there was a strong likelihood, if not accepted, that it came from a lab. But if you dared suggest it, it was immediately shut down and you are, you know, smeared as a conspiracy theorist because you had questions. Regardless of whether you think Anthony Fauci did anything wrong or not, if you're having a hearing, wouldn't you at least take a look at the information? I mean, let's say, for instance, if you were a great defender of Anthony Fauci. Wouldn't you want to take a look at the accusations or the evidence, I better put, the evidence that they have as a way of seeing if there's nothing there, a way to push back on the evidence as it not being telling? If you believe that Anthony Fauci is being unfairly maligned, wouldn't you look at the evidence? One, to consider it. Two, if you disagree with it, then know exactly how to undercut the false argument being made. But the fact that it was not even being accessed, the fact that it wasn't even being looked at tells you that there was no interest in having a conversation about it. Interesting. Let's go to David next step. David, welcome. How you doing?
Hello, David. David, David, you there? Yeah, and there's that old bong? Yeah, I was on a different topic, but I guess I could mix them together. Have you ever running... Well, you can talk about... No, no, no, I mean, it's kind of open topics. You can talk about what you want. All right. Well, I could mix the two together. They both run on the same theme. And, you know, many people think about it as playing with politics in a crisis. And there's a book that came out right after Katrina called The Shock Doctrine. And I don't know if you've ever run into it. The woman that wrote it Naomi Klein, who is an economist, who she still is, and she writes about people that will take advantage of a crisis in order to profiteer. So in the case of Katrina, they made sure that people couldn't return to their homes for weeks, months. And when they finally got back there, their houses were so covered with black mold that they had to sell their houses or bulldoze them. And the construction industry, the real estate developers loved it because they could buy those houses so cheap, it was unbelievable. So the idea of taking advantage of a disaster in order to cash in, you know, looking at Halliburton down there, looking at khaki, looking at all of those ugly corporations that ended up buying New Orleans for a dime. You know, just it was incredibly sick. So if you get a chance to read the shock doctor, and it's well worth to read. Now, in the case of Donald Trump, as a real estate broker, he knows that the easiest way to get land is medical emergencies. People are forced to sell their boat, their car, their house, they're back 40 for paying for medical bills. And so when COVID came along, Donald Trump... at first was terrified by it. And then when he got in touch with his real estate buddies, they decided to sabotage the rescue efforts and to cash in on people dying early so they could buy up land. And I've taken the position that Donald Trump is a real estate broker or developer first and the president last. and doing the right thing is out of his sphere. He's interested in cashing in on it. And a guy like Anthony Fauci, you know, you can tell by Rand Paul's stupid reciting of the dumb arguments that they've had for the last five years, like, for example, the mask issue. Did you say the average person doesn't need to wear a mask?
He said that when America was running out of masks in the earliest days, right? Well, let me, David, let me address some of this. Okay, going back to the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, there's a lot there. I'm, I'm, I can't cover it all, but, but let's, let's pick up with the Anthony Fauci, you know, him saying something publicly and feeling something privately, that's not concerning to you.

And after interviewing so many dudes during this Men's World Cup, I'm so happy to be back with my U.S. women's national team players. I know the U.S. men's national team has changed how I think about myself, how I think about being an American, how I think about being on a team. It's one year out from that World Cup, and we're going to talk about the brightest prospects in U.S. soccer. You ready? I'm ready. Let's do it. The U.S. soccer podcast. Presented by Henko. Follow and listen on your favorite. platform said publicly that that we did that that that uh that we should do one thing and then probably felt like that that we should do something entirely different is that concerning you do you feel like he was not being entirely up front and forthright you know he said he again he was he said that publicly about not wearing masks But he said, I'm not talking about masks. I'm not talking about masks. I mean, the masks that people were wearing were largely ineffective. We even talked with Dr. Stanley about that. I mean, the masks were on our faces might help you 10% a little bit. I'm talking more about like the school shutdowns as an example. Okay. He claims that he had nothing to do with shutting down schools and then doing mass closures. But we now, though, from his diary that he was actively working behind the scenes to do that. And, and he. even said publicly that we shouldn't do it, but yet, yet, but why was he working behind the scenes to do it then? Well, again, uh, and let's go back to masks first and then schools for the, in, well, no, no, I mean, I, I, I'd be, what's the point going back to the mask? We, we know there was a run on the, the, the N95 masks, and we know that the little, little cloth masks we were using were largely ineffective. It's, we had, there's no reason to go back to that. I want to, the, the much larger, more impactful issue, I think is, is Larry. Sure, it is. What? Because the masks do work, and even if it's 10% with an extremely... I mean, they're largely ineffective. I mean, they didn't really help that much. They really did. And then vast majority, David, David, I'm not going to argue. I mean, I've had doctors tell me this, okay? Why should I listen to you instead of doctors? The name of the game was that the hospitals had to use five or 10, 15 masks an hour. and they were running out of them so fast that I'm not saying they were in short supply, but they weren't not largely effective. I've had doctors tell me this. I'm not going to argue with you, David. I mean, I have friends in mind that are very good doctors that told me that they give you a little bit of help, but largely ineffective, especially the ones like the gator mask people wearing that didn't do anything for you, okay? It was performative by and large. But closing down to schools is a much, much bigger issue because it did set kids.
back academically. And Dr. Anthony Fauci believed, in fact, he claimed that he was not working. He believed that there should be mass closings. And he argued that he was not working with political figures to do closings. And yet, according to his diaries, he was. He was talking about urging Dr. Bill de Blasio to shut down schools, talking to Gavin Newsom's staff about doing so. He was doing one thing publicly and saying something and feeling something entirely different behind the scenes. Why is that not concerning to you? Well, let's put it in terms of a frozen moment in time. Now, if Rand Paul wants to run his little scam yesterday or a day before, and he says, lays out a quote, but he doesn't say what date it was. And then he lays out another quote, but it turns out it was two weeks later. And he pretends that it's in front of it rather than behind it. So he's, Rand Paul is a lion scandal or scandal. David, it is undeniable. It is undeniable that Anthony Fauci has testified under oath. that he never did stuff, and we now know that he did do it. I mean, listen, if not for the pardon, he would certainly be indicted for perjury. There's no doubt about that. He got the blanket pardon. I do believe Anthony Fauci should answer questions. I think there's some of the questions are legitimate. I think Rand Paul has concerned about the gain of function research. I think are legitimate concerns that Anthony Fauci has never been fully clear on. I think there's fair questions to be asked. And unfortunately, people get... to these political sides where they get they have to dig trenches and dig and protect their own side and i just i find it appalling that then you know that we had these hearings that once out or the other doesn't seem any interest in asking substantive questions and getting to the bottom of stuff i mean it's no there's just no denying that Anthony Fauci said things publicly that he said the opposite privately or wrote about opposite privately. There's just, I mean, that's, that's beyond dispute now. And, and, and I think the, because I mean, at the beginning, at the beginning, he, he said, he said at, and according to his diary, before it was even became an issue, that, that it was his belief that the likely cause of COVID was from a lab, but yet actively pushed back against the lab leak theory. publicly saying that it was from the wet markets and from bats. I mean, that dishonesty had enormous impact, David, that dishonesty had enormous impact. You can't deny that. frozen moment in time. When did he say... I'm going to move on, David. This is a waste of time. 253-5959. The Stuttgart Motors text line 253-559. I mean, it's just a waste of time. Listen, if you feel like Dr. Anthony Fauci was doing the best that he could and maybe succumb to pressure, maybe he was trying to balance the pressure of expectations versus the weight of keeping people... I mean, I can accept that that's why he might have fudged a little bit on the edges.
If we have a lack of interest, a lack of intellectual reflection on how it all began, trying to shut down conversations about how it all began, even though you privately agreed with it. is concerning to me. I mean, I think he should have to answer that question. This is from Pamela. Larry, perhaps the bottom line is if he's not guilty of something, why was he paying three or four attorneys, $3,000 an hour sitting with him, especially since he already has a pardon. That's the same as the most concerning as well as confusing to me. Well, I don't blame someone going to a hearing and having a lawyer with him to give them some legal advice. I mean, I don't blame him for doing that. But, I mean, I think it's, it's surprising to me, people are so dismissive of the fact that he has so many things that he wrote about in his diary that are counter to what he was saying publicly. And why that doesn't bother people. The reason why this is important, and really, Rand Paul's admission here really isn't so much about masks, which David was fixed at or not or shutting out schools, is that was Anthony Fauci directly involved and funding illegally gain of functioned research in these labs? He believes that there are evidence that it was taking place, and that is a big deal. I mean, if the United States government through Anthony Fauci's office was involved in funding gain of function of research that played a role in COVID-19, isn't that something we should know about? Isn't that something that should be, people should be held accountable for? Listen, I think we need to be more curious about how it began. If the director of the NIH is saying publicly, it's from a wet market, it's from a wet market, but probably saying, yeah, it's kind of, it's likely a lab leak. I mean, and I guess, again, logically speaking, if he had no involvement with the lab, why would he be so concerned? about admitting that it's likely came from a lab. It came from a lab in China. We had nothing to do with it. What would be the harm in that? Why would you be reluctant to accept or to admit that the virus might have come from a lab if it wasn't incriminating in some way to you and to this country? Maybe there's a reasonable explanation. What is it? Is it unfair to ask? And again, we had these hearings, and half the, and half the, the chamber has zero interest in getting to the bottom of it, to the point where they didn't even bother and even look at what's going to be presented to prepare. And this stuff happens in both directions too. There's,
There's legitimate questions. I think, listen, I think there's a lot of grants, as I said, I think there's a lot of grandstanding that goes on and takes place here. I think this is one of the things where I think Rand Paul's got making some fair points on this. Why is it that the guy that was managing our COVID response was saying publicly something entirely different than what he felt privately? For what reason? Why would he say we should do A and probably says, yeah, we shouldn't do A? What's the point of all that? I don't know. I don't, I think those are fair questions. And I don't see why people are so offended by that. 253-5-9-5-down the Stuttgart Motors text line. Larry was because they wanted the virus to ruin President Trump's chances in 2020. Well, I mean, maybe. I think more to the point our government was probably involved to a degree that they shouldn't have been involved. And there was fear that the United States would be blamed for it. Because there was, but there was, I mean, For the most part, in 20 and then throughout the Biden administration, there was almost zero interest at all in trying to figure out how it began. Move on. We can't be looking to pass with the look in the future. Let's move on. Nothing to see here kind of mentality.
Larry, if it's a Anthony Fauci was doing anything illegal, it's not Congress's place to investigate. It's a Department of Justice. Okay. But I mean, are you saying Congress plays no role? Are you saying Congress has no authority, no role at all to investigate? And hand over a recommendation to the Department of Justice? I mean, look at how much Donald Trump was investigated for stuff. Was that the Department of Justice's and FBI's role there, or should Congress have not gotten involved? 253-5959. I'll let me walk around with these people regarding masks, LOL scary, can't change their mind. Listen, I mean, there's even been admissions that the six-feet distance was just, I mean.
