[00:00:00] Oxford High School school shooting of 2021. Investigator report released saying the school made some mistakes. Why is anybody surprised and why is this news? This and other stories today on The Tenth Man.

[00:00:14] I drove over to Oxford High School today, uh, to take some B roll footage and, uh, get some ideas for a pending video on the topic.

[00:00:26] The whole thing's been a minor media circus and nothing but a media circus ever since it happened.

[00:00:32] Coming at the same time as the, uh, The close out of the Lewiston, Maine, uh, Spree shooting.

[00:00:40] Where, of course, the government, again, was at fault. It shouldn't be any surprise that at Oxford Schools, it is the government employees, the school, that is also at fault. They won't emphasize the school's fault as much as, uh, as I would. And that's why I'm going to do a video on it. Because there's a backstory that makes the whole thing even worse.

[00:01:02] If you've seen the recent video I did on, um, on, uh, European school shootings, uh, it brings out some of the areas where schools are at fault. And then the newest video on, uh, suicide, and I don't think I've released that everywhere, but it's released on YouTube and Rumble, I think. Um, and, and not on TikTok.

[00:01:27] So what we're talking about there is, um, , this channel started out on TikTok. I didn't like the coverage I was getting. And I said, hey, I could do a, a, a, a podcast. It'd be a whole lot less work. And I could do one once a week. And yeah, you may, you may laugh as my one or two listeners saying, yeah, you haven't been doing one or two a week.

[00:01:48] But I could. And, uh, I'm working on that, by the way. So, uh, anyway, we made the decision, I think, to, uh, like, let's do it on YouTube because YouTube videos tend to be less, uh, time oriented. They're evergreen is what they call it. So, uh, I'll do a video, I can put it out there and then it can be there forever, maybe years from now.

[00:02:10] Uh, when the topic comes up again, somebody might look it up. Uh, then you have to be careful not to say things like, last week, uh, this such and such happened, and instead use, uh, use dates. And you might notice, notice me doing that in, in this channel as well. So, that said, um, I started doing TikToks, then I started doing the podcast, this one, and then I started the YouTubes.

[00:02:35] And the thought was I could do a YouTube video a month and then still do the podcast. Well, two things happened. First, I discovered that YouTube was not that interested in my stuff. And then TikTok opened up. 10 minute videos , to select individuals. And I say that because I happen to be one of the select individuals.

[00:02:56] They let me do 10 minute videos. So at that point I said, Hmm, let me try some of these YouTube videos on Tik TOK and voila. I literally get. A thousand views to one . Yeah, it's, it's pitiful. I'll put a view on YouTube and get 30 views. Three zero. The same video on TikTok gets 30,000. So I'm not lying, all right?

[00:03:22] And I think the YouTube ones will catch up eventually, , but meanwhile, I'm just putting them on YouTube and TikTok, and I gotta heave them under 10 minutes to do that, and while we're at it, I'm also putting them on Rumble. So you can find me on any of those places, uh, just look for the 10th man.

[00:03:40] Well, where that puts us with the podcast is, uh, and it's a bit of a cop out, I suppose. I've been, uh, running the soundtracks to the videos here. But you get to hear them here first. And you're also getting to find out what the next video is going to be, because I'm going to rant about...

[00:03:55] You may remember that, um, I was, uh, Oxford is the next, is the next, uh, school district over from us, I've been there many times, used to take the kids there for their, for their sporting events, and, um, The day that attack took place, and let me start, start saying targeted school attack, TSA, because that's what it really is.

[00:04:20] There's no such thing as a school shooting. That term is made up by the media. Uh, I recommend you're watching, I think I've covered it on here. I played the soundtrack to it, but there's a good video I did on, uh, Mark Bryant, the, uh, creator of the daily mass shooting myth, that explains, uh, Uh, how mass shootings is a myth.

[00:04:41] Whoops, I said mass shooting, we're saying school shooting. School shooting is the same thing, actually Mr. Bryant has them in his database. But more famously, uh, Michael Bloomberg does. And I've got a, uh, a very famous TikTok video on that. Uh, I have like two or maybe it's three that have... Almost a million views.

[00:05:06] Almost, but not quite. Just like TikTok followers. I'm at 39, 000 followers. I'm not as popular as the, uh, blonde teenagers who lip sync to, uh, uh, music. Uh, but pretty good for an old, old foey who's doing, uh, uh, political commentary. Uh, so where was I? Yes, uh, I did a, a school shooting video. Uh, about the granddaddy of that myth, and that's Michael Bloomberg and his, um, Every Town Against Gun Violence.

[00:05:38] So most of the videos can be spent, or many videos could be made, explaining all the, uh, catchphrases the media use. School shooting is one, mass shooting is another, gun violence is another, and it goes on and on.

[00:05:54] The keystone of the argument in this case would be that, um, when they say these kids were in two school shootings, then they'll cite Oxford High School and, uh, Michigan State University. Yeah, they're both school shootings because school shooting doesn't have a definition. To true criminologists, they're completely separate events.

[00:06:13] Uh, the Michigan State shooting is a mass attack in a public space, okay? A person, not a part of that community, decided to go there just because it was a public space where there would be a lot of victims. So he wanted some victims, so he found them in that public space. The targeted school attack is when somebody attacks a public school specifically.

[00:06:38] And it may be an outsider. Uh, Uvalde, Parkland. Or it may be an insider. Um, Columbine, Oxford. Okay? The key to the targeted school attack is that it's somebody who has a grudge against the schools. Oh, and the other one recently, Covington. Alright? And, uh, by the way, if you listen to the, um, listen to the, the, or play the video about European school shootings, we talk about how kids, uh, in Europe don't get separated and have to move from class to class in middle school and high school like we do here.

[00:07:17] Heh. Little story. When I was in the 5th grade, I think I underwent the first, one of the first experiments with middle schools. So we were in 4th grade, went to 5th grade, and they said, got us together, and they said, Okay kids, here's what we're going to do. You're going to have all three teachers, Mrs.

[00:07:33] Tenney, Ms. Moy, and Mr. Smith, and you're going to go from class to class. And that was like really different. And having a man teacher was really different. Well... That concept, which was new to us, did they continue that? No, because they did that one year and then in sixth grade we went back to having, staying in the same class.

[00:07:58] Staying in the same classroom. So, that concept,

[00:08:03] here's your Easter egg, is what drove the Sandy Hook shooter over the edge. He had a great deal of difficulty coping with not having his own teacher in middle school. Okay, so, food for thought.

[00:08:20] So the Oxford school shooting, here's the first thing, uh, and this is just some of the things that our local news has come up with in the, uh, the released, uh, investigation. 

[00:08:29] 

[00:08:30] They said that the parents should have been forced to take their child home from school. Okay. The news has been saying for two years that The parents refused to take Crumley home from school that day. And that's why he was, he was there, and that's why they're, they're in jail. They've been in jail for coming up on two years.

[00:08:52] Because the local prosecutor likes to put people in jail. who have not committed any crime and, uh, these are the, these are one of, one of three examples and some of them I, we, we've covered in our videos.

[00:09:04] Folks, there's no such thing as they should have been forced. The school decides who can stay in school. They do not, they do not have to convince them. It's the parents to take them home. I'm upset when I read in the paper, , that they refused to take them home. They say the parents flatly refused.

[00:09:24] It's not the parents choice. It's not the parent's choice. It'd be like if you were in a restaurant, and, uh, the owner asked you to leave because you were being violent and you refused. They'll then, uh, uh, uh, then, uh, dust off their hands, walk away and say, Well, we tried. No, they order you to leave, and then they call the police, and the police take you out.

[00:09:45] Before trespassing, that's not exactly how it would happen in this case, but it's allegorical. Moreover, not only that, but, I don't know if I should save this one for last. Not only that, but the counselors in the presence of the kid said, You need to get him help, and if you don't, we're going to have him taken away from you.

[00:10:07] Alright, um. So the kid has a gun with him at the time, and that is what put him over the edge. That's what I'm telling you. That's not what experts will tell you, but ten years from now they will, because that much is obvious. The school, the school is where the kid spent all of his time. The school is where...

[00:10:31] Where he developed his, uh, animosity or his disturbances. It's where he, the school, the school is what developed the shooter and the victims and the environment, the school created all of those things, and they're gonna, they're gonna be found, actually, they, they were, they're, they're gonna be found guilty and, and tried.

[00:10:50] He's tried criminally for saying that.

[00:10:53] Actually that being the case, I guess you won't have to wait 10 years because those those gentlemen are going to go on trial for saying that in front of him And as far as him having the gun Um That's a joke. That's a joke. Um, surprisingly, or maybe not surprisingly, kids take weapons, including guns, to school all the time, and nothing happens.

[00:11:15] It happens all the time. Um, Grand Rapids schools, I'm doing a lot of this off the top of my head, so... Be careful. But Grand Rapids is the second largest city in Michigan.

[00:11:26] They recently, uh, They recently started allowing the kids to carry backpacks again. They had banned backpacks at school because they had eight incidents of kids taking guns to school. Okay. Now I suppose everybody is shocked that kids took weapons to school. Um, no, kids take weapons to school all the time.

[00:11:46] And nothing happens. I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset. I mean, go ahead and be upset if you want to. All right? But but and if you disbelieve me go just look up in Mr Bryant's list of school shootings because he has plenty of lists of people taking guns to school So if I recall correctly the number of Guns found in school kids backpacks last year was eight, so they, uh, they banned backpacks.

[00:12:10] I don't know if it's backpacks or lockers where the guns were actually found. And not only did nothing happen, but just as important, none of the parents were put in jail. That is what the parents are in jail, the crumbly parents are in jail for, because letting him have access to a gun, supposedly.

[00:12:28] Alright? So you have eight sets of parents who, guardians or whatever, who allow their kids to have access to a gun. Nobody's in jail.

[00:12:36] And another point. On the chain of custody of the gun. They say the parents let the kid have it. Well, The school took the gun away and then gave it back to him. The school confiscated the kid's backpack, they confiscated his backpack, and then in a true feminist era, my kids have rights, move, They failed, they failed to make the determination of asking the higher ups.

[00:13:03] Do we have permission to search his backpack? So as, and so as not to violate his civil rights, , the backpack they confiscated containing the gun and the ammo They gave back to them.

[00:13:18] And again, uh, I'm doing this out of my head, so I hope I don't misspeak. Then there's the protocol. has created, and I'm speaking of the criminologists at the FBI, not the politicians who run the place. The criminologists who have invented the terms, uh, targeted school attack and, uh, mass attack in a public space.

[00:13:41] Okay. For targeted school attacks, they have a, an entire set of recommendations. Recommendations that, of what, of what schools should do. By the way, that includes interacting with the parents and giving them training, and, uh, eventually, if they ever put the Crumblies, the parents, on trial, this will come out.

[00:14:05] Did you follow the FBI statement and, uh, and provide parental training? Because we know we, they didn't. Okay. But, among that training is going to be, and the report... The investigation refers to this, they don't mention the FBI, so I'm going to refer to the FBI. But they have to have protocols in place. And the report says they have protocols, but they did not follow them.

[00:14:30] So when the boy, made his drawings, or made his comments, or whatever, that meant that he should then be put on a, uh, a suicide intervention program. And a, uh, uh, uh, risk, uh, risk management, I'm not sure what the name of the program would be, doing a risk assessment. And they had the evidence to do that, but they did not do that.

[00:14:56] So even if you were not... he would have been, for example, taken out of the classroom, put under observation, et cetera, et cetera. And, and then possibly, if anybody had any backbone, search his backpack, whether or not they had permission or, from higher ups or, or, uh, or whatever. Or by policy.

[00:15:20] So when we touch on this in the future, we need to move on to another topic. But when we touch on this in the future, we're going to look at this. Why is this school being held up and idolized as, as um, heroes and victims? Uh, poor, poor Oxford schools. They ought to, rather, bulldoze the place, fire all the teachers, spread the kids out into other schools until they figure out what the heck is going on over there that this could have happened.

[00:15:48] And, uh, we'll get into more of that when we do a future video.

[00:15:53] Moving on.

[00:15:54] 

[00:15:55] So let's move toward the, uh, war in Gaza. Uh, I don't know why, there's... They act like Gaza and Ukraine are the only wars in the world. ? There's, uh, 31 different wars going on right now. And, um... And, uh, this one just gives evidence of how racist the news is.

[00:16:15] Because if there's a, uh, well we see the same thing with crime. If there are, if there are ten shootings, if there are ten guys who are shot, and all ten of them are black, and nine of the shooters are black, And while the shooter is white, which rarely happens by the way, it's actually a very rare event, it goes both ways.

[00:16:35] Cross racial shootings are rare, but they're more common black on white than white on black. Still, if there's a shooting of ten black guys, they'll only look at the one where the white guy did the shooting. Or a cop, which is probably a more likely scenario. Same thing is happening with this war. There's 30 or so wars going on.

[00:16:57] Look at the, uh, off the top of my head. I don't know them all. I know a couple though. Uh, Boko Haram in, uh, Niger. 

[00:17:05] And, uh, the civil war in Somalia, . All right. But nobody cares about those. It's because it's Muslims killing Muslims, so nobody cares.

[00:17:15] But the war in Gaza, there we have, have non Muslims killing Muslims. So to the world, that becomes a problem. So it's because the world is racist, not because Israel is racist. Israel is not racist. There's, there are, I don't know, I don't remember the population of Israel, but it's, uh, I don't know, five or 10 percent Arab.

[00:17:39] And most of those Arabs are, uh, are Muslim. And there are also a fair amount of, uh. Christians there. Actually, I think Christians are one of the smallest minorities there. But many Muslims live, work, worship, pray, go to school in Israel.

[00:17:57] And Israel is not at war with Muslims. They're at war with Gaza. Also, there's the other things, uh, uh, uh, apartheid and, uh, um, concentration camps and genocide. None of those things are true. All these words lose their meaning, or have lost their meaning, because of the, uh, the mainstream media and people like the Squad.

[00:18:26] They just let, put, throw a label onto something and, uh, the action doesn't really fit that label.

[00:18:33] The Gaza Strip used to be part of Egypt and the West Bank used to be part of Jordan. And we were fine that way until those countries attacked Israel and lost them in the, in the war which Israel won. And Israel would be happy to give them back, except it keeps them as a buffer zone because it, it helps them not get attacked by Egypt.

[00:18:58] Now they've signed a peace treaty with Egypt and I'm sure, I'm sure if Egypt petitioned them or fought for, uh, fought for it, they could probably get Gaza back, as could Jordan. But, they don't want him back. So, Israel has basically abandoned them. Uh, well, in a sense. 

[00:19:17] The West Bank has one government and Gaza Strip has another government, the, uh, Hamas. And the war is with their government, just like all wars. So the other word they can stop using, the phrase, is humanitarian crisis. They're telling us how bad war is for civilians. We know that. It's going to suck being a civilian in Gaza.

[00:19:41] Until you rise up and overthrow your rulers or cooperate with the authorities who are trying to find them, it's gonna be a bad situation for you as a civilian there. But the news tells us that things are bad and shows people crying. And that's not necessary. We know that war is bad.

[00:20:00] So you don't have your choice between good and bad. You have your choice between bad and worse. So there's two sets of civilians. That could possibly die, the civilians in Israel and the civilians in, uh, Gaza. And the world is going to be better if all the civilians in Gaza die.

[00:20:20] Oh, it's a hard thing to say, but it's true. The world is going to be better off. If all the civilians in Gaza die, then it'll be if all the civilians in Israel die. So there's the two choices. It's not between bad and good. It's between bad and worse. So we gotta choose the bad over the worse. And of course, we don't hope that they all die.

[00:20:45] Heavens, do you have to say everything that's obvious? No, they don't, they don't have to all die. But if that's what it came down to, yeah, that we'd be better off. And then the, uh, the humanitarian crisis and the desire for a ceasefire. It says here, Netanyahu rejects ceasefire. Well, the ceasefire, that's, that's like when, uh, uh, you, you send the bombers out.

[00:21:10] to bomb Germany or Japan and they've flown all the way up there and they've gotten through the flak and the fighters and they've pulled the trigger and the bombs are falling down and now the Germans and the Japanese say, Hey, don't drop bombs on us. Please stop. Let's talk this over. It's too late. The bombs are already falling.

[00:21:35] And that's just one problem. The second problem is, the second problem is this. I say, oh yeah, it isn't, it sounds like an imperfect analogy, but it's really not. Because you can't stage all your, you can't stage all your troops, let the whole world have a look at what they are, and then not launch, because now everybody knows what you have and what your strategy is.

[00:22:00] And that's exactly what they're doing. But, uh, the, uh, the femalibs, feminists, millennials, and liberals, Always want to look at just one thing. They're incapable of looking at the whole picture.

[00:22:14] But people should look at a little bit of history. , people are just very ignorant of history. I want to use an example such as the Marines on Okinawa. The Marines on Okinawa, they kept advancing and advancing and advancing, and they were begging the Japanese troops to surrender. The few Japanese that they captured, they put them on loudspeaker and said, hey, all the stories are not true, they're not gonna, they're not gonna torture you, uh, please lay down your arms and surrender, but they wouldn't do it, because the Japanese leaders we're convincing them, or, or, uh, um, shooting them if they try to surrender.

[00:22:51] But they convinced the civilians that the Marines were evil and were going to kill them and eat their babies. Well, Hamas is doing something a little bit different because they have the world's TV cameras watching. Hamas is acting as though they're the innocent ones. Now, how people buy this, I don't know.

[00:23:09] Because, like the Japanese on Okinawa, or on the mainland, In order to have peace, all they had to do was stop shooting. All they had to do was stop shooting. Cause here's the funny thing. And let's go to the extreme again. In the Middle East, All that has to happen for there to be peace is for Hamas and other groups, uh, we used to have the PLO and 

[00:23:38] the Islamic Brotherhood, I forget, I forget all the names. All that's necessary for there to be peace is for the radical. Muslim, unfortunately, we have to say that, is for the radical Muslim groups to stop shooting, to stop killing. And then there's peace. And then there's peace. Now you can even get into, well, we don't like the peace, Israel is a blah, blah, blah.

[00:24:03] I don't believe any of that is true. The people you talk to might believe that it is true, that Israel is a bad country. Fine, believe that. Let them go. Then go negotiate with them, if you believe that. But all that aside, as soon as the other side stops shooting, there's peace. Let me put it another way. If you wiped out Israel, you're not going to have peace in the Middle East.

[00:24:27] You're still going to have war. If you don't believe me, just look at, go to look at, again, Somalia, Iran and Iraq, against each other, or inside their countries individually, or

[00:24:40] But if, however, you wiped out Hamas, then in that case there would be peace.

[00:24:47] That's why it's just hilarious to see people, uh, our politicians in the U. N. saying, we need a ceasefire. A ceasefire. If you want a ceasefire, it's all up to them. Also in Gaza, Human Rights Watch. They keep talking about a humanitarian crisis. Again, a meaningless word anymore. But Human Rights Watch has made the statement that, uh, a war crime against Israeli citizens does not justify war crimes against Palestinian citizens

[00:25:19] 

[00:25:20] That's a catchy little phrase because, uh, none of us would deny it. One war crime does not justify another war crime. But, uh, the, uh, the bimbo announcing that on the news, she doesn't say, um, what she's talking about. Where's the war crime? I see pictures of kids, uh, uh, in the hospital.

[00:25:41] I don't know about you, but, uh, Yes, I do know. If you took your child to the hospital and he was bleeding, what they would do is investigate you to see what you had done to him. They would not, they would not immediately jump to the conclusion that there had been a war crime committed. And, uh, why would anybody believe this?

[00:25:57] We know what Hamas is capable of. And, oh, I'm not saying that these kids were not hit by shrapnel. They, they may well have been. But what I'm saying is... A war crime has a very specific definition, and you can take somebody to an international criminal court and try them for it. And in this case, the war crime that we would find would be using children as human shields.

[00:26:28] Have you heard the phrase human shield? I keep hearing humanitarian crisis, humanitarian crisis, humanitarian crisis. What we should be hearing is child abuse, human shields. Palestinian war crimes. That's what we should be hearing. We should be hearing the UN and the, uh, what was it, the Human Rights Watch.

[00:26:47] We should hear them declaring their anger with Hamas for creating this situation. That's what we should be hearing. But, we don't. Because it's a racist war.

[00:26:59] 

[00:26:59] Okay, we'll talk about the Lewiston, Maine shooter. Now that was a, uh, I believe a spree attack and maybe a borderline, uh, mass attack in a public space. Um, let's not call it a mass shooting because if you look at, uh, the three days after that, or three days before, uh, you'll find that they record five or eight different so called mass shootings.

[00:27:26] And in those, all those five to eight mass shootings, there was two people that were killed. So a very low average number of deaths per mass shooting. So this is not even in the same classification. That's why that term is meaningless, even though they're calling it a mass shooting. Oh, in that, in that vein, um, yes, uh, Mr.

[00:27:46] Bryant's Gun Violence Archive, he recorded that as mass shooting number 595 for the year, and, um, other sources recorded it as mass shooting number thirty six... . , So in this case of Mr. Card, um, they've discovered how many times his mental status was reported. There was concerns by his family and by the Army Reserve.

[00:28:15] His Army Reserve unit. And the question is, why weren't his guns taken away?

[00:28:21] And of course we've seen in many of these high profile mass murders or targeted, uh, attacks and excuse me, mass attacks in public spaces and or targeted school attacks, there are warning signs. And the question is asked, why were the guns taken away? And then the phrase red flag laws. Um, we have to be cautious about the red flag laws because here's what everybody wants.

[00:28:48] They want red flag laws to be tied to accusations of domestic violence. So, uh, let's jump into domestic violence, for example. 

[00:28:58] We have a, uh, we have a, uh, um, um, an expression that says believe the woman and you'll have women going to the police. And you can find, you can find videos of people bragging about this, women bragging about this. I showed him, I went and put, had a, uh, I had a restraining order put on him. And the whole thing is made up and they will laugh about it.

[00:29:21] Now I don't think most women laugh about it. They might actually be sincere in their own minds. But the fact is, women report men falsely all the time and the mere fact of my saying it, uh, labels me as I hate women or something like that. Okay. So where Second Amendment defenders get involved with these discussions is saying, You can't just have a woman making a claim, going down to the police department and signing her name to something without repercussion if she's wrong or lying.

[00:29:56] And having a man's, uh, civil rights violated. Because that's what, that's what, uh, the gun law obsessed want. The evil forces of GLO, gun law obsessed. So, that's one of the obstacles to putting so called red flag laws in place. Um, It's not clear by the details what laws Maine actually has, but I don't think anybody is defending, uh, the failure.

[00:30:26] I don't think anybody is saying everybody did their job right. So, it seems as though, it seems as though... There were sufficient laws in place to have his guns taken away. They were asked to. On the other hand, let's not jump ahead. Because we really don't know. And we do know that Card's brother volunteered to go and secure the guns and put them away.

[00:30:52] So we don't know whether that was a legal requirement or what. For, uh, just a common sense family acting in best interest, cooperating with the police.

[00:31:04] I'll go on to say that, um, we also know that in the case of many high profile murders, actually, the ones that they talk about for Australia and for, um, uh, England, well, Scotland, Great Britain, Dunblane, Scotland, and, uh, um, what was the place. Oh, I can identify the place in Tasmania, back in, um, it was right after Dunblane, actually.

[00:31:34] Both of those, both of those men had obvious warning signs that the government, the government ignored. And, and, and had people requesting that they be investigated and have their guns taken away. And the government's failed. But, but all's well. They passed gun laws because, you know, again, the gun law obsession just, just subscribing to GLO makes you, uh, makes you invulnerable to, uh, or immune from prosecution.

[00:32:04] And on that, uh, Topic of women making claims against men. Yes, I, I know people, I know several men who, , came home from work, found out that the wife had talked to a lawyer, and he said, yep, just go down to the judge, sign a restraining order, and, uh, these guys I know, they were living in their car until they found someplace else to go.

[00:32:29] Yeah. Got divorced. Wife got the kids. Paid child support. Wife was fooling around. And, uh, none of it mattered. Only men get punished by these laws. So that's what, uh, the, the, uh, gun rights supporters are fearful of.

[00:32:46] Wildfires are in the news again. So there's some wildfires. Apparently in, uh, in Southern California. And also some footage has been released of the fires recently in, in Maui, where the cops are going door to door, banging on the doors, and telling people to, uh, to evacuate. 

[00:33:04] And all these stories are fraught with emotion, but Here's the real story. In Maui, the police going door to door. The question is, why wasn't the, uh, civil defense alarm working? Sound the civil defense alarm. People tune in their radios to the emergency channel and find out.

[00:33:22] what's happening, and what they should do. But that wasn't working. And then, for both fires, , you can see the pictures of the fires in California, all the bushes and long grass. That was the cause of all the destruction in Maui, you know. Um, it has nothing to do with climate change. It has to do with... Uh, all the pineapple farms closed down, and, and a century ago, it's always environmental do gooders.

[00:33:51] People brought in grass to, uh, to feed the livestock. Yeah, you might debate whether that's environmental do gooders, but I won't. They're still changing the environment. Deliberately, right? Without thinking about it. So they brought all this grass that they planted. And maybe the native grasses would have done the same thing.

[00:34:09] But now the cows are gone. And the pineapple fields are gone. And they're not keeping them mowed. So, uh, the grasses are taking over the pineapple fields. So there's long grass everywhere. . And, uh, three guys with a brush hog. Could have prevented the tragedy. You could at least mow up to your house, right?

[00:34:31] Couldn't you at least do that? But it's easier to complain and blame everything on climate change. And then as far as all brush fires, all wildfires. Wildfires are part of nature. The fuel accumulates and then it burns off. Or it, uh, or it decays and gives off CO2 that way. Either way, it's the same thing.

[00:34:52] The CO2 goes into the atmosphere. Uh, all wood eventually turns into CO2, unless it turns into coal. And we're not making much coal these days, I don't think. I think it takes eons, and we haven't had, we haven't been working on climate change for an eon, have we?

[00:35:10] And then, nose to tail report. with the wildfires in California is freezing temperatures for 200 million people. Freeze warnings extending to the deep south. Um, yeah, I'm just amazed that you can say with a straight face that we're going to have freezing temperatures because of global warming, instead of just recognizing that it's all a cycle.

[00:35:35] And, by the way, that's not my short answer on everything about climate change. The discussion of climate change is a more complex one. But here's what's certain. You can't blame everything on climate change, alright? And you can't fix it by sitting in the street blocking traffic. And it's just like we say about...

[00:35:58] Gun control.

[00:36:00] If you really had a point, you wouldn't have to lie about it constantly. And they can never, ever one time make a point about these things without lying about it.

[00:36:12] Next story. And, uh, we're seeing this on, uh, the CBS morning news. It is about the abortion law in Idaho. So in Idaho, apparently you can't get an abortion unless it's to save the mother's life, or in the case of rape or incest. And, uh, there's jail time if you help a minor leave the state to get one. Well, naturally we have to comment that, uh, People are taking their kids out of state for other stuff all the time, so I'm not sure I would disagree with that.

[00:36:42] But, on the, but, the proponents of abortion would not object to taking your kids out of state because you wanted to get their sex changed. So, when they flash these things up on the screen about, crossing state lines. Uh, well, again, it's a double standard. Like, um, um, if you try to buy a gun in Indiana, there are stores in Indiana that will make you show your ID to prove that you're not from Illinois.

[00:37:09] It's not against , Indiana law, as far as I know. I mean, it's not illegal to own a gun. And, uh, they're taking it in their hands to enforce Illinois law where you're required to have a state ID, a firearms ownership permission. , but you can bet your last dollar that somebody going from Idaho to Illinois to get an abortion, Illinois is not going to ask any questions about it.

[00:37:35] They'll just give it to you. They'll probably have clinics set up at the state line to get people, to catch people if they're coming from states. I think Ohio has gotten harder, right? So, on the eastern border of Illinois. . So this story, we're trying to see how tragic it is. And, oh, they made sure they had the mom crying, the woman that wanted an abortion crying, and her doctors crying, because of the tragedy that she went through.

[00:38:03] Well, the thing about it is, I'm not sure what the tragedy was. , she discovered at 16 weeks, That, um, the baby was deformed and here's what her doctor told her. .

[00:38:14] And she says, so you could, you could get an abortion or. Or, you can wait and you'll probably miss Carrie. Or it'll come to term and it'll be stillborn. Alright? Did you hear those three options? Because I missed them. I heard them, yet kind of missed them. When, uh, when I was listening to the story or watching the story.

[00:38:39] So now here's the great trauma she went through. She had to drive seven hours. to Oregon to get an abortion. And the procedure was a two day. They do a dilation the first day. And then that night, in the motel room, she gave birth. Oh, and because they couldn't get last minute care for her, for her two year old, they had to take two year old with her.

[00:39:00] And the two year old was asleep in the next room in the pack and play. The, uh, the correspondent asked that question. Asleep in her pack and play. Yes, and I was trying to be quiet. It was a tragedy. And because of the trauma, Because of the trauma, she is suing the government of Idaho for the trauma she had to go through.

[00:39:21] Let's back up a second. It's at 16 weeks. Uh, frankly, 16, that's interesting because the Dawes decision, which broke Roe v. Wade last year, was that Mississippi wouldn't allow an abortion after... So that was an interesting, uh, interesting, uh, timeline. Um,

[00:39:43] but here's the thing. If abortion had been illegal everywhere, or if she just had decided to wait it out, she would have been... at her house. Okay, granted, they did some sort of inducing here, but she would have been at her house having this baby, or she would have felt ill, gone to the hospital, she would have given birth to a miscarriage, or a stillbirth.

[00:40:09] It was only the intervention that caused this situation, or at least, as far as we know. We don't know otherwise. So she could have done nothing, and um, This just boils down to what we see femalibs do all the time. Feminists are always just complaining about the world as it is. Because the world, uh, because either God or fate or the universe, whichever one she worships or looks to for authority, dealt her a bad hand where she had a deformed baby or a stillbirth.

[00:40:44] That's what her doctor told her.

[00:40:47] 

[00:40:47] So she's going to sue the state. Oh, funny thing, by the way, we'll do a whole video on this someday or a whole episode on this someday. Um, she's got one of those hyphenated last names, you know, Smith Gomez. And I, I'm not joking, I think it was, uh, uh, a, uh, Mexican last name. So Mrs. Smith Gomez is given the, she's suing the state.

[00:41:08] At no point in this story, and it was, I'm gonna say a three, three to five minute segment, at no point in the story did her husband appear. Nobody was in this story except women. There were the woman reporter, the woman gynecologist, and the woman gynecologist, she cried. 

[00:41:25] The doctors supposedly are afraid to give an abortion because, uh, in any case, because, uh, they'll be prosecuted. Well, I don't, I think that's a red herring. I don't think they would be. The, the exceptions, if it's for a mother's life, well it's for a mother's life. If it's for a mother's health, it's for a mother's health.

[00:41:45] But I think if anything, the interpretations would be likely to go the other direction. Where they would say any little thing. Thing was gonna be for the mother's health.

[00:41:55] Okay. Well that's it for today, I think. I hope, I hope this commentary on the news has been enlightening for you. And I'll talk to you again next time. Thanks so much for listening.
