WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200 I. All right. So I have two stories here focused 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.619 on the trans community since the administration's 00:00:08.619 --> 00:00:11.900 at war with this community. So let's just go 00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:14.820 ahead and kick it off. Oh my gosh. I can't say 00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:19.219 that title. So I write like mean idols here when 00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:21.460 I'm like really mad and then I forget to change 00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:28.760 them. So let's just say duck face. Rainbow crosswalks. 00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.399 All right, so in a federal letter dated January 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.179 or sorry, July 1st, transportation secretary 00:00:36.179 --> 00:00:41.740 Sean P. Duffy gave states 60 days to review intersection 00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:46.439 crosswalks and identify compliance concerns as 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.200 part of his Safe Roads initiative. Duffy argued 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.979 that non -standard colors have no place on public 00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:58.340 streets. Quote, roads are for safety, not political 00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:03.079 messages or artwork, he said. The Florida Department 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.640 of Transportation, love that state, issued a 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.260 similar memo cautioning city and county leaders 00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:14.700 that state funding could be withheld if they 00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:19.109 fail to comply. this directive specifically called 00:01:19.109 --> 00:01:22.989 for the removal of non -compliant traffic control 00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:26.670 devices and service surface markings including 00:01:26.670 --> 00:01:31.930 pavement art art and installations. Now, I wonder 00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:36.030 who they're trying to go after here. Like what 00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:39.189 what kind of crosswalks are there so mad about 00:01:39.189 --> 00:01:41.250 and why are they all of a sudden mad about it? 00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:46.150 I don't know. But anyways, The agency had also 00:01:46.150 --> 00:01:50.590 pointed that the impact of autonomous vehicles 00:01:50.590 --> 00:01:53.230 stressing that consistent application of pavement 00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:57.890 surfaces is critical for their safe operation, 00:01:58.109 --> 00:02:00.969 which I mean, let's be real here. They're talking 00:02:00.969 --> 00:02:04.069 about, you know, the rainbow crosswalks. And 00:02:04.069 --> 00:02:08.969 if that messes up a Tesla or whatever POS autonomous 00:02:08.969 --> 00:02:11.030 car that you have, I don't think it's safe for 00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:14.960 the streets. Now what's really interesting here, 00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:19.180 available research contradicts the safety concerns. 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:25.520 A 2022 study which reviewed crash data from 17 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.599 asphalt art sites nationwide with at least two 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.159 years of records found that colorful crosswalks, 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:40.400 aka your rainbow crosswalks, the gay ones that 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.180 everyone's afraid about, found 83 fewer crashes 00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:48.759 after the installations representing a reduction 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.099 of more than 50 percent compared to the period 00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:55.039 before the crosswalks were painted, which this 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.139 makes sense. Right. Because like when I encounter 00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:05.120 a quote art crosswalk or just rainbow crosswalk, 00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:08.740 it kind of like brings your attention to it. 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.759 Like you kind of when you're driving, you almost 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.280 get kind of in this like zone of your driving. 00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:15.719 Everything's gray, whatever. And then you have 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.620 this very colorful crosswalk. It pops out at 00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:22.919 you, kind of like jogs you, I don't know, awake 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.180 and you're like, oh, this is a crosswalk. I can 00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:29.840 see a person very clearly against all the colors 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:34.360 of the rainbow. But yeah, so the administration 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.520 is trying to do away. So they're trying to do 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.719 away with gay marriage. And now they're trying 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.300 to do away with rainbow crosswalks. What do you 00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.900 think? I want to come back to the gay marriage 00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:50.159 one in a minute, because I think that there's 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.379 some interesting things happening there, specifically 00:03:53.379 --> 00:03:59.919 within the Republican Party. They have really 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:01.699 tapped into the fact that they're just leaning 00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:04.509 into the culture war stuff. Right. Their economic 00:04:04.509 --> 00:04:06.949 policies are crap. They're having a harder and 00:04:06.949 --> 00:04:08.949 harder and harder and harder time defending them 00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:12.889 every single fucking day because shit's still 00:04:12.889 --> 00:04:14.810 getting expensive. Vegetables are going up in 00:04:14.810 --> 00:04:17.889 price. Everything else is still getting worse 00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:21.089 economically and none of their plans are working. 00:04:21.430 --> 00:04:23.410 And we're six months into the administration 00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:28.050 right now. And again, they did the same thing 00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:29.589 during the first administration where they were 00:04:29.589 --> 00:04:32.310 like, look how fast it'll get better. And it 00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:37.129 didn't. Right. And and so they they they go back 00:04:37.129 --> 00:04:42.329 to the well. It's red meat for their base. And 00:04:42.329 --> 00:04:44.790 that's that's that's all it is. Right. You're 00:04:44.790 --> 00:04:47.029 the transportation secretary and you have nothing 00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:50.910 better to do than worry about what color a sidewalk 00:04:50.910 --> 00:04:57.470 is painted. Congratulations. Like. Come on. And 00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:00.290 autonomous vehicles. We're just making crap up 00:05:00.290 --> 00:05:04.220 now. Just let's let's. be done with with the 00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:06.779 nonsense. Again, I kind of want to come back 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:11.800 to the gay marriage one later as I had some time 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.899 to kind of look into it. And I've got some some 00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:20.920 thoughts on that one. But why don't you tell 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.459 us the other thing they're trying to do? Well, 00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:28.579 they didn't try. They 100 percent did. And by 00:05:28.579 --> 00:05:32.819 them, I mean our National Park Service, specifically 00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:38.160 Yosemite. So this is coming from the New York 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.279 Times, but you can find the story everywhere 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.160 today. So the National Park Service has fired 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:50.139 Shannon Jocelyn, 35, who studies bats and has 00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:55.339 a PhD in genetics. They were employed as a wildlife 00:05:55.339 --> 00:06:00.019 biologist at Yosemite National Park. They got 00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:03.819 fired because they helped drape a large transgender 00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:10.819 flag from a rock face back in May. They stated 00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:13.819 that the demonstration had taken place in a prohibited 00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:17.920 area and lacked the required permits. But this 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.800 is where like things get a little interesting 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.339 here. So the park banned public protests like 00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:28.600 this on May 21st after this had already happened. 00:06:28.779 --> 00:06:33.279 And Dr. Jocelyn said in an interview that the 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:37.439 new rule had not gone into effect yet. When several 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:41.040 climbers scaled the mountain face with the flag 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.800 and the group had not been aware of the pending 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.990 ban. The group also took down the flag before 00:06:48.990 --> 00:06:53.290 being ordered to. The demonstration also occurred 00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:56.569 during their own personal time. They were not 00:06:56.569 --> 00:07:01.750 on the clock. They also stated that everything 00:07:01.750 --> 00:07:04.930 that I did was off the clock and I had absolutely 00:07:04.930 --> 00:07:07.310 nothing to do with my capacity working for the 00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:10.759 National Park Service. I think that the administration 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.079 is using me as a sign to tell all of our other 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.779 federal employees that they have to be silent 00:07:16.779 --> 00:07:20.519 and comply or they will be eliminated. We made 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.980 sure that no part of the flag would get in any 00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:27.579 kind of way of any climbers trying to climb the 00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:32.639 routes that go through that area. So this is 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.259 a very interesting stance. I believe this is 00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:39.779 a pretty In my opinion, this is a pretty harsh 00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:43.879 stance for a community that is. I mean, being 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:49.000 attacked. Now, yes, if I went to where I work 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.860 right now and I hung a flag on the side of the 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:55.560 building. I would probably get in trouble. I 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.839 don't even know if I would get fired. I might 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.720 get fired, but. For a national park on your day 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.620 off, when people are there climbing already. 00:08:07.099 --> 00:08:10.920 And then making an example out of this one person. 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.199 I don't know. I think it kind of sends the wrong 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.660 message, but also I think the Park Service is 00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:19.220 kind of afraid of the current administration. 00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:25.759 What do you think? I got two things to think 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:31.079 first. I almost feel bad for saying this, Dr. 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.009 Jocelyn. Quote, everything I did was off the 00:08:33.009 --> 00:08:35.129 clock. Oh, sorry. I think the administration 00:08:35.129 --> 00:08:37.210 is using me as a sign to tell the federal employees 00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:39.230 to be silent and comply or they'll be eliminated. 00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:47.029 Yes, and water wet news at 11. Yeah, the administration 00:08:47.029 --> 00:08:50.669 is going to use jobs, your federal jobs to to 00:08:50.669 --> 00:08:52.470 make you comply with their political ideology. 00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:59.370 Again, water wet like. Look, if you guys want 00:08:59.370 --> 00:09:05.570 to fight. This is the consequence, right? This 00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:08.750 this is the consequence Okay, and the thing that 00:09:08.750 --> 00:09:11.330 I have to say to people on this topic when they're 00:09:11.330 --> 00:09:13.110 like Why aren't people more people fight because 00:09:13.110 --> 00:09:15.929 they're not willing It hasn't gotten bad enough 00:09:15.929 --> 00:09:18.429 for people where we where people are willing 00:09:18.429 --> 00:09:20.309 to accept that there's gonna be like you want 00:09:20.309 --> 00:09:23.210 to really rebel and fight There's gonna be fucking 00:09:23.210 --> 00:09:29.370 consequences kids That's how this works Again 00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:31.750 Do I think she should have been fired? Absolutely 00:09:31.750 --> 00:09:35.769 not. I think it's a pretty clear First Amendment 00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:40.750 issue. I wouldn't even call it a demonstration 00:09:40.750 --> 00:09:47.509 or a public protest. But again, it's a First 00:09:47.509 --> 00:09:50.029 Amendment issue and am I shocked at the administrations 00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:53.429 going after First Amendment rights that goes 00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:59.710 against their political ideology? No. This isn't 00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:03.389 surprising to me at all not at all. It's sad, 00:10:03.549 --> 00:10:10.950 but it's not surprising So It's just this whole 00:10:10.950 --> 00:10:13.409 thing again makes you shake my head again, none 00:10:13.409 --> 00:10:16.269 of the economic policies are working either There's 00:10:16.269 --> 00:10:19.889 no peace deals, you know, there's nothing the 00:10:19.889 --> 00:10:23.409 wars are continuing and they can't get squat 00:10:23.409 --> 00:10:27.720 done right Of any real consequence. So this is 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.220 what they're gonna do to feed red meat to the 00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:44.059 base That's that's all there is to it Yeah Also 00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:51.820 speaking about feeding red meat to the base Something 00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:54.669 that I've a story that kind of popped up that 00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:57.049 I honestly do not understand I did not put it 00:10:57.049 --> 00:10:59.990 on the on the rundown actually kind of forgot 00:10:59.990 --> 00:11:03.230 to like look into this a little bit more so let's 00:11:03.230 --> 00:11:05.129 have a discussion a little miniature discussion 00:11:05.129 --> 00:11:09.409 here about this all the internet freaking out 00:11:09.409 --> 00:11:15.769 over a male NFL player sorry male NFL cheerleader 00:11:15.769 --> 00:11:20.850 which I honestly do not understand, like I really 00:11:20.850 --> 00:11:22.870 legit do not understand their stance because 00:11:22.870 --> 00:11:26.429 I think from the dawn of time or the dawn of 00:11:26.429 --> 00:11:29.409 cheerleading, there's always been male cheerleaders 00:11:29.409 --> 00:11:32.330 because they actually help support some of the 00:11:32.330 --> 00:11:38.789 girls. Did you guys not watch Bring It On? OK, 00:11:39.149 --> 00:11:42.990 come on. Classic fucking teen comedy with Eliza 00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:45.610 Dushku and Kirsten Dunst. And what is it? They're 00:11:45.610 --> 00:11:49.309 a bunch of male cheerleaders. It's a thing. It's 00:11:49.309 --> 00:11:51.990 always been a thing. There's male cheerleaders 00:11:51.990 --> 00:11:56.950 all over the thing. Again. Yeah, I. It's specifically 00:11:56.950 --> 00:12:00.929 the things the Minnesota Vikings, right? And 00:12:00.929 --> 00:12:03.669 I've seen it spun two ways from conservatives. 00:12:03.769 --> 00:12:05.710 And let's be clear, it's not the internet, it's 00:12:05.710 --> 00:12:09.549 conservative internet people, right? And honestly, 00:12:10.070 --> 00:12:13.090 because they're bored, right? Somebody in the 00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:15.409 YouTube chats bring up George W. Bush was a male 00:12:15.409 --> 00:12:18.629 cheerleader at Yale, right? Like the fact of 00:12:18.629 --> 00:12:21.789 the matter is, is that I've seen it spun both 00:12:21.789 --> 00:12:24.549 the, why are you taking jobs from women? And 00:12:24.549 --> 00:12:26.350 I'm going to come back to that one in a minute, 00:12:26.509 --> 00:12:32.220 okay? Cause fuck you. And two, men and women's 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:34.399 sports again, right? We're back on that thingy. 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.759 So on that one, let's take the second one first. 00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:41.360 You guys have been using that on the trans community. 00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:45.179 They're not trans people. They are men who are 00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:49.279 cheerleading. So let's not cross your streams 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.659 with your weirdo fucking messaging, okay? And 00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:54.340 then I heard somebody be like, women can't play 00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:58.080 in the NFL. That's actually not true, okay? there 00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.440 have been women who've tried out and I think 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.580 there was a couple who were like kickers who 00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:05.379 were close right and put it this way if there 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:08.159 was a woman who could kick a 67 yard field goal 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.200 do you not think that the nfl they don't give 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.480 a shit they're they want to win okay okay this 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.059 that's that but let's go back To the first thing 00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:24.659 the jobs thingy do not you fucking? Shit head 00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:27.779 hypocritical conservatives pretend for one fucking 00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:30.220 minute. You gave a shit about cheerleading as 00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:34.759 a job Okay cheerleaders across the NFL are underpaid 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:38.960 Treated like fucking dirt right subject to what 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.220 should be illegal working conditions and do this 00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:46.720 for love of what can only be described as a paid 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.649 hobby Because all of those women have to have 00:13:50.649 --> 00:13:54.070 other jobs to support themselves. They cannot 00:13:54.070 --> 00:13:57.409 be cheerleaders. There is nowhere in the National 00:13:57.409 --> 00:14:00.049 Football League where cheerleading is a full 00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:03.409 -time paid position. It doesn't fucking exist. 00:14:04.210 --> 00:14:07.110 So don't go be like, they're taking women's jobs. 00:14:07.570 --> 00:14:12.610 Fuck you. We didn't, you didn't give a goddamn 00:14:12.610 --> 00:14:15.690 about cheerleaders as a profession, right? Until 00:14:15.690 --> 00:14:18.529 this happened, that's one. Number two, you're 00:14:18.529 --> 00:14:28.179 talking about 32 NFL teams, okay? Yeah. How many 00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:30.960 fucking cheerleaders? What, like 50 per team? 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:36.340 What, probably 160 NFL cheerleaders in all of 00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:39.399 existence at any given time? This is not a giant 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.480 industry that the men are taking over all of 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.159 a sudden. Okay? So fucking miss me with that 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.059 shit. Just fucking miss me with it because it's 00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:58.279 just bullshit. Right? It's just bullshit. It's 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.399 it's another thing for them to one and again, 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:08.919 I just I don't fucking get it Who cares I don't 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:16.120 know why they care I really don't Yeah, I I really 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.539 I really did not get this I mean when I was in 00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:22.539 high school there was a male cheer cheerleader 00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:27.539 who was Not part of the LGBT community. It's 00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:29.679 how to do the little tossing shit and the catching 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.519 Yeah, he was a little new He was on the track 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.259 team He legit was like I'm here to hang out with 00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:42.759 the girls Seems like a good idea to me Yeah, 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:47.559 right Okay, and again, this is not new go watch 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.500 bring it on okay You guys got a screening room 00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:52.960 in the White House, do me a favor, go flip it. 00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:55.860 It's a classic teenage comedy. It's actually 00:15:55.860 --> 00:16:00.659 a pretty good movie, okay? And the lives of the 00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:04.419 douche crew is hot, right? Like, let's just call 00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:08.860 it Spade Spade. It's fine. On the gay marriage 00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:10.879 thing, which you brought up earlier, right? And 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.220 let me, for the audience who may not have kept 00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:16.720 up with this. Here's what's going on, and this 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.360 is, I'm going to get to my weird takes about 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.500 this in a minute. What's happening is Kim Davis, 00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:23.559 who is the woman we remember from ever so long 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.860 ago, who got sued for not providing marriage 00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:31.779 licenses to gay couples after Obergefell, she 00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:33.899 was eventually fined and blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.299 blah. She has now gotten her appeal. That's right, 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.460 this is a blast from the first Trump administration, 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.799 right? She's gotten her appeal all the way back 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.200 up to the Supreme Court. She has applied for 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.240 a writ of cert, right, which is the thing that 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.639 you need to appear before the court. And what 00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.480 she's saying is that her fine should be wiped 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.639 out and that Obergefell was wrongly decided. 00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.000 Okay? Now, two things that are interesting about 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.220 this, right? I have seen more conservative backlash 00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:09.200 against this idea than liberal backlash. There 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:13.059 are so many Republicans who are like, don't do 00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:18.519 it. Don't do it. This will kill you. The gay 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.559 marriage thing is settled. Most Republicans are 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.299 in favor of it. Leave it the fuck alone. Do not. 00:17:49.229 --> 00:17:57.430 Take four. Now, here's where my hot take comes 00:17:57.430 --> 00:18:00.809 in. Are we ready? If I was a liberal justice 00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:04.849 on the court, I'd absolutely fucking do it. Yeah. 00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:09.130 Let's hear her case. Right now. Let's do it. 00:18:09.269 --> 00:18:12.430 Right? If I was one of the three liberal justices 00:18:12.430 --> 00:18:16.170 on the court, I would absolutely give her fucking 00:18:16.170 --> 00:18:20.170 rip. I would say, let's hear this case. Join 00:18:20.170 --> 00:18:23.910 with Alito or what's his name? Why can't I think 00:18:23.910 --> 00:18:30.039 of his damn stupid name? Black guy, what's his 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:35.059 name? God dang it chat help me out here. I don't 00:18:35.059 --> 00:18:37.259 know why I'm blanking on this Supreme Court justice 00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:42.259 name Thomas. God dang You know Alito and Thomas 00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:46.099 want to do it Alito and Thomas want to do it. 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:51.299 Okay. Oh I do it I do it force him to force him 00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:53.859 to do it because here's the deal It's the same 00:18:53.859 --> 00:18:57.400 thing with row. Okay the republican party has 00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.559 relied on these evangelicals to be a good 30 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.099 to 40 percent of their base for a long time a 00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:06.779 long time and the evangelicals were not getting 00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:09.740 what they were promised by the GOP now they are 00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:12.980 the checks are come and do okay the evangelical 00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:19.759 base is demanding demanding action on Roe Obergefell 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.539 all this crap make them do it make them hear 00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:28.450 the fucking case and make them come out on one 00:19:28.450 --> 00:19:31.490 side or the other, okay? Because I'll bet you 00:19:31.490 --> 00:19:34.869 money, I will bet you money, they will not overturn 00:19:34.869 --> 00:19:37.990 Obergefell. They are not that fucking stupid, 00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:41.730 okay? A couple of reasons. Here's what you got. 00:19:41.789 --> 00:19:44.470 You got the three liberals, right? You have the 00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:47.220 three liberals. I know this is so weird. Go look 00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:50.539 at Gorsuch's opinions. Gorsuch frequently pisses 00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:52.900 off the conservatives because he's got a weird 00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:55.660 libertarian streak in him and he also really 00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:58.220 likes Native Americans, okay? Literally, go look 00:19:58.220 --> 00:20:01.380 up his court stuff. Gorsuch never votes against 00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:03.460 Native Americans. If the Native Americans are 00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:05.400 suing the U .S. government, he's on the Native 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:08.900 side. No one knows why. It's his pet project. 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.970 It's weird. Go look it up. Gorsuch has come down. 00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:16.009 He came down actually on the trans issue. He 00:20:16.009 --> 00:20:19.829 was the deciding vote in Bostock that added gender 00:20:19.829 --> 00:20:22.849 identity to the items that you could not discriminate 00:20:22.849 --> 00:20:25.750 against and Gorsuch was the deciding vote and 00:20:25.750 --> 00:20:29.970 the one who wrote the majority opinion. He's 00:20:29.970 --> 00:20:34.410 got a weird libertarian streak to him where he's 00:20:34.410 --> 00:20:36.710 like, I don't like you guys fucking with this 00:20:36.710 --> 00:20:41.160 shit. Roe you can get away with because you're 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.759 sending it back to the state so that kind of 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.480 fits into his stupid libertarian mind, right? 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:47.519 You can't do the same thing with Obergefell and 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.220 he knows it. He fucking knows it. Okay. So you've 00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:55.259 got four. Alito and Thomas are going to vote 00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:56.940 to overturn Obergefell. That's not a fucking 00:20:56.940 --> 00:21:07.359 question. I don't think Roberts will do it. I 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.500 think he will say it's settled case law and he's 00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:13.000 not gonna overturn precedent. But what do you 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.519 think of my hot take? Do you think the Liberals 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:19.859 should make them do it? I know it's a risk, but 00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:21.299 I honestly agree with a lot of the conservatives 00:21:21.299 --> 00:21:23.759 I hear. You overturn Obergefell, man, that's 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:25.940 the fuck, and you're gonna piss so many people 00:21:25.940 --> 00:21:37.269 off. Oh God, I don't, ooh. I mean... Kind of 00:21:37.269 --> 00:21:41.130 want to say like yes Take the risk. I don't think 00:21:41.130 --> 00:21:43.670 they'll overturn it. I don't think they will 00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:46.109 either but then there's like a there's part of 00:21:46.109 --> 00:21:51.609 me that's like No, Jay, they are that dumb. They 00:21:51.609 --> 00:21:55.369 want the they want the Civil War. I don't know 00:21:55.369 --> 00:21:58.970 where that voice came from. But yeah I don't 00:21:58.970 --> 00:22:06.319 know Yep Uh, and I want to say it was Gorsuch. 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.579 Here's the opinion in Bostock, right? And I want 00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:13.940 to show you guys this. Again, Gorsuch was the 00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:16.960 deciding vote, right? It's Bostock versus Clayton 00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.400 County. In each of these cases, an employer fired 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.299 a long -time employee for being homosexual, transgender. 00:22:23.700 --> 00:22:26.900 Held. An employer who fires an individual merely 00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:30.579 for being gay or transgender violates Title VII, 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.799 right? and I want to say and so this was Bostock 00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:41.240 this got decided in uh 2020 right just before 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.200 the election right and then who wrote the Bostock 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.420 opinion I want to say it was Gorsuch yep it was 00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:55.380 Gorsuch The 63 majority opinion was written by 00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:57.900 Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was Trump's first nominee 00:22:57.900 --> 00:23:00.279 to the Supreme Court. Remember, he was the first 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.700 guy. He came before Kavanaugh and what's her 00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:06.539 name, right? Neil Gorsuch was the one that said, 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.640 no, you can't fire transgender people for being 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.700 transgender. Sorry. And I remember when that 00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:16.700 opinion came down and conservatives lost their 00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:18.940 minds because you got to remember Gorsuch was 00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:21.599 a Trump appointee. He was supposed to be their 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:27.960 guy. and then he was like no no trans people 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:30.140 you can't fire trans people for being trans like 00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:36.599 that's that's not allowed right these some of 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.619 these justices get weird right and I don't know 00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:52.440 what it is Yeah, he has a notable record conservative 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.619 Native American law advocating for tribal rights 00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:57.200 and sovereignty How many of these has he got 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:02.519 one two three four five decisions? Right that 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:07.099 he has been like nope When it comes to Native 00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:09.480 Americans versus the US government I side with 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:17.700 the Native Americans And no one knows why It's 00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:22.170 I always thought it was really interesting So, 00:24:23.069 --> 00:24:35.089 I don't know what do you think? Yeah, it I I 00:24:35.089 --> 00:24:38.450 kind of think they're going to try it like legit 00:24:38.450 --> 00:24:43.049 I Mean the simplest way out for Roberts because 00:24:43.049 --> 00:24:46.849 Roberts being who Roberts is is to is to convince 00:24:46.849 --> 00:24:49.730 them to not to deny cert And I go we're not even 00:24:49.730 --> 00:24:51.799 gonna hear the case. Fuck you we're not doing 00:24:51.799 --> 00:25:02.519 it okay and wait two more years right um i i 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.619 don't i think the most likely scenario is that 00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:08.940 they're not gonna they're not gonna go right 00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:13.039 i think that gorsuch and the three liberals are 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.539 gonna say no and i think roberts is gonna say 00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:20.539 no and then i think cavanaugh or barrett Tony 00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:23.980 Barrett are going to say no to cert Just because 00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:27.440 they don't want the controversy They just don't 00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:33.099 want to deal with it So yeah, I don't think they're 00:25:33.099 --> 00:25:36.680 gonna hear the case I'm just saying if I was 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.119 a liberal justice, I'd be like fuck.

Look, I read 00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:11.400 Supreme Court decisions because I think they're 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:14.349 funny Right because sometimes they'll insert 00:26:14.349 --> 00:26:17.150 funny things like the words jiggery pokery Yes, 00:26:17.190 --> 00:26:19.910 the word jiggery pokery is in the Supreme Court 00:26:19.910 --> 00:26:26.569 decision from the last ten years Take that for 00:26:26.569 --> 00:26:27.069 what it's worth
