00:00:01.441 --> 00:00:02.342
Would you look at that?

00:00:02.342 --> 00:00:06.043
Maine has made the national news.

00:00:06.043 --> 00:00:17.632
Unfortunately, our 15 minutes of fame goes against common sense and, in fact, is an embarrassment for the people of Maine.

00:00:17.632 --> 00:00:22.756
All that and more on today's episode of Share the Struggle Podcast.

00:00:22.756 --> 00:00:26.038
Let me tell you something Everybody struggles.

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.568
The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it.

00:00:31.568 --> 00:00:33.948
The choice is completely yours.

00:00:33.948 --> 00:00:39.866
Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life.

00:00:39.866 --> 00:00:47.570
If you find strength in the struggle, then this podcast is for you.

00:00:47.570 --> 00:01:00.212
If you have a relationship that is comfortable with uncomfortable conversations, uncomfortable conversations challenge you, humble you and they build you.

00:01:00.212 --> 00:01:05.231
When you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, it all makes sense.

00:01:05.231 --> 00:01:10.385
Most disagreements, they stem from our own insecurities.

00:01:10.385 --> 00:01:14.653
You are right where you need to be.

00:01:14.653 --> 00:01:27.829
I'll take on for my life.

00:01:27.829 --> 00:01:28.739
What a deal, what a deal.

00:01:28.739 --> 00:01:30.206
I did it again.

00:01:30.206 --> 00:01:35.849
Good Lord, almighty, am I so excited to be back with you?

00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:39.819
Oh, it's true, it is damn true.

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:58.162
Welcome back to another beautiful, fabulous, voluptuous episode of Share the Struggle Podcast, proudly brought to you by the good folks at Loud Proud American, aka myself, my wife, my baby, my baby mama, my wife and my mama, so my baby mama and my real mama.

00:01:58.162 --> 00:02:01.591
You know, club mama, club baby and me.

00:02:01.591 --> 00:02:03.385
It's a big staff.

00:02:03.385 --> 00:02:03.826
We got here.

00:02:03.826 --> 00:02:07.489
We got some part-timers starting tomorrow.

00:02:07.489 --> 00:02:10.949
We'll talk about that on the next episode.

00:02:10.949 --> 00:02:17.330
But we are here and when I say we, I mean you and me, and I'm looking at you.

00:02:19.001 --> 00:02:21.608
The people on the radio probably think you have a mouse in your pocket.

00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:22.610
They probably do.

00:02:22.610 --> 00:02:23.599
They don't know what the heck's going on right now.

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.804
Probably think you have a mouse in your pocket.

00:02:24.804 --> 00:02:25.164
They probably do.

00:02:25.164 --> 00:02:32.344
They don't know what the heck's going on right now, much like we didn't know what the heck was going on when I want to say what was it Two weeks ago?

00:02:32.344 --> 00:02:34.750
Maybe a week ago, I don't know.

00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:40.231
Everything's a blur right now, but we were getting ready for the big family dinner, which is a big event.

00:02:40.231 --> 00:03:06.650
Lately Little Miss Thing gets her tabletop, high top view of the sky, sits down in her little chair there she's trying out foods and she's sampling everything that we have and she's getting her purees and and we tend to put on fox news and turn the tv so we can listen to the news and we all play jeopardopardy as a family and things like that.

00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:08.687
We're getting real old over here.

00:03:08.687 --> 00:03:11.766
No, we're just making family traditions.

00:03:12.407 --> 00:03:13.350
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:14.683
Changing some things up.

00:03:15.305 --> 00:03:15.806
I'll take that.

00:03:15.806 --> 00:03:16.971
That works for me.

00:03:16.971 --> 00:03:26.093
Well, after one of our dinners, we're all settling in on the couch for a long winter's nap.

00:03:26.093 --> 00:03:30.050
I don't know why I decided to go Christmas carols right there, it just felt like it.

00:03:30.050 --> 00:03:41.669
It felt right and I think it was the like Laura Faulkner or something or somebody, we were watching some Fox program, right?

00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:44.549
Yeah, that lady that comes on before Hannity.

00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:46.387
Yeah, and anyways some fox program.

00:03:46.387 --> 00:03:47.834
Right, yeah, that lady that comes on before hannity.

00:03:47.854 --> 00:03:50.883
Yeah and uh, anyways the lady that always just looks like she's miserable.

00:03:51.966 --> 00:03:55.700
But but, she will rip you to shreds she does, she does a good job.

00:03:55.700 --> 00:03:57.463
She does a good job, but she does have the.

00:03:57.463 --> 00:04:07.730
She just has one tone to her, whether she's happy or whether she's mad she's looking at you like she knows more than you and she's going to tear you apart.

00:04:07.811 --> 00:04:11.027
I feel like, yeah, she wants to eat your heart out, literally.

00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:22.273
Well, I had heard, while we were doing the dishes and stuff and packing up, I heard her say something about Maine and it was going to be coming on later in the show.

00:04:22.273 --> 00:04:24.976
So I was just kind of tuning in to see what that was going to be coming on later in the show.

00:04:24.976 --> 00:04:27.245
So I was just kind of tuning in to see what that was going to be and I should have known.

00:04:27.245 --> 00:04:35.394
I should have known if we're going to get brought up on Fox News it's going to be some form of embarrassment.

00:04:35.394 --> 00:04:45.755
It's not going to be a positive quality, because if it comes to government, if it comes to political things in our state they tend to be an embarrassment.

00:04:47.581 --> 00:04:50.009
Yeah, because our governor is an embarrassment.

00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:52.848
We have Biden 2.0 up here in.

00:04:52.848 --> 00:04:53.129
Maine.

00:04:54.422 --> 00:04:55.607
That's an understatement.

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.252
Austin Powers is doing an awful job with our freaking state.

00:05:00.252 --> 00:05:05.978
I so think that Governor Janet Mills just looks just like austin powers.

00:05:05.978 --> 00:05:06.500
It's unbelievable.

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:09.005
The same european teeth and everything.

00:05:09.887 --> 00:05:12.293
Yeah, baby let's just put this into perspective.

00:05:12.293 --> 00:05:24.586
Elon musk says that he signs up for a daily proctology exam yes that's us here in maine every single day, no lube lube.

00:05:24.607 --> 00:05:26.211
Amen to that, amen to that.

00:05:26.572 --> 00:05:27.153
That's our governor.

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:33.425
Well, if you've been listening along over the past few weeks, you heard me talk about some.

00:05:33.425 --> 00:05:52.132
I've stood here let's just be honest in front of the microphone, full of pride, and I've shared, I've had the full frontal confessionals about how excited I am by the new administration by President Trump, by the direction of this country, the breakneck, fast pace at which things are getting done.

00:05:52.132 --> 00:05:57.091
More things have been accomplished in 30 days than in the past four years.

00:05:57.091 --> 00:06:00.560
There's a bunch of stats we could talk about, but that's not the point.

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:41.081
What I stood here and talked about on multiple occasions that I thought was a monumentous event for Americans was when we watched President Trump sign an executive order for Title IX to prevent transgender boys slash girls competing in girls sports sports right when trump signed that executive biological men yes, when trump signed that executive order, he was surrounded by young girls and their sports jerseys and us.

00:06:41.161 --> 00:06:44.904
Being new parents to a little baby girl, these things hit home to us.

00:06:44.904 --> 00:06:50.009
And I think when you first become parents, your receptors are wide open.

00:06:50.028 --> 00:06:59.315
You're paying attention to all things parent-related, child-related, and for the longest time we've been fearful about having kids.

00:06:59.315 --> 00:07:24.673
Based off the direction of our country, based off of the direction of our school systems and some of the crazy things that have been happening, and I felt like these past 30 days have been putting the brakes on the craziness, recalibrating america to being back to being america and the things that we we love in this country and getting back to making little girls feel safe, you know.

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:25.380
Correct.

00:07:27.064 --> 00:07:30.353
I think it's insane that people want to debate this or argue this.

00:07:30.353 --> 00:07:31.685
It just doesn't make any sense to me.

00:07:31.685 --> 00:07:45.216
There's no way in way, shape or form that it is fair for a biological male to compete against girls, no matter how they feel about their sexual preference.

00:07:45.216 --> 00:07:47.507
There's an unfair advantage.

00:07:47.507 --> 00:07:50.548
There's a biological advantage.

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:54.209
Yeah, I mean, let's just get the elephant out of the room.

00:07:54.209 --> 00:07:57.000
They are stronger in general.

00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.629
Their body structures are different.

00:07:59.629 --> 00:08:22.389
Body structure is very important when it comes to lots of these women's sports, but that's a big thing that people keep talking about here in this in the state of Maine is that like they're basically downplaying the fact that these boys are joining, identifying as a female but as biologically a male.

00:08:22.389 --> 00:08:31.271
They're signing up for women's sports and these parents are coming forward saying, like my child, my daughter, is going to get hurt, and so what?

00:08:31.271 --> 00:08:38.743
They're coming forward and saying the parents who are of a transgender child and want to identify as a female.

00:08:38.743 --> 00:08:45.246
Their comeback is well, your child signed a contract knowing that they were going to get hurt in the beginning.

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:46.282
Yeah, it's obnoxious.

00:08:46.282 --> 00:08:48.147
These kids didn't sign any contract.

00:08:48.147 --> 00:08:51.282
They didn't sign a contract to compete against boys.

00:08:51.282 --> 00:08:58.042
They didn't sign a contract to compete against people that are bigger, stronger, faster.

00:08:58.042 --> 00:09:13.865
When you are looking at like we talked about it the other day, because this conversation, like when you connect with anybody in Maine, this just kind of comes up and we've talked about you know, when you're talking like pre-K stuff and little kid stuff and they're just playing and they're all just learning fundamentals.

00:09:13.884 --> 00:09:14.386
That's called co-ed.

00:09:14.847 --> 00:09:15.448
That's okay.

00:09:15.448 --> 00:09:16.230
That's okay.

00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:19.547
Yeah, it's when we start reaching into.

00:09:19.547 --> 00:09:27.927
You start thinking about puberty, when these biological males are hitting puberty and these things that are happening.

00:09:27.927 --> 00:09:54.173
Um, you just kind of think about like number one if there's any kind of physical contact type of sport, then this is by no means safe, correct, and if you're talking about anything, that's not a physical contact sport, but it's still a physical sport, like track and field, for example, which is the topic we're about to head on to, is it's unfair when it comes to the physical advantages, right, and this comes back to.

00:09:54.173 --> 00:10:06.291
If we're going full circle and getting back to the news portion that we were talking about, we were watching the news and they showed from Greeley High School, a biological male competing in track and field.

00:10:06.291 --> 00:10:09.139
I think it was the pole vaulting or something.

00:10:10.184 --> 00:10:10.525
What was it?

00:10:10.525 --> 00:10:11.684
Some kind of pole vault.

00:10:11.725 --> 00:10:12.307
Pole vault okay.

00:10:12.307 --> 00:10:26.996
This biological male who number one, last year competed as a male and finished in fifth place, and then this year competed as a woman and won first place.

00:10:26.996 --> 00:10:32.248
So was on the podium winning a trophy and won by eight inches.

00:10:32.248 --> 00:10:37.464
When a pole vaulting competition, that's not even close, no like that's not even women.

00:10:38.345 --> 00:10:42.354
Um pole vaulting like you win first by like centimeters.

00:10:42.975 --> 00:10:52.259
Yeah, it's inches maybe to go from fifth place to that in itself just shows the biological difference that we're talking about and how unfair this is in general.

00:10:52.259 --> 00:11:06.615
Number one the fact that our state is willing to go against an executive order and the fact that our state is willing to go against the majority of the population in this country.

00:11:06.615 --> 00:11:18.792
They always say this is an 80-20 situation, meaning that more than 80% of the United States population agrees that men should not be in women's sports.

00:11:18.792 --> 00:11:30.426
Why, in the sand hill of nowheresville, are we having our state say we're gonna die on this hill, this 20 percent hill that we're gonna let.

00:11:30.426 --> 00:11:33.231
We're gonna let boys compete in girls sports?

00:11:33.472 --> 00:11:34.280
yeah I don't believe it.

00:11:34.280 --> 00:11:37.150
So we see this on the news.

00:11:37.150 --> 00:11:43.787
They show this um, this photo from really high school, this biological male, um, you know, winning an award.

00:11:43.787 --> 00:11:54.793
And and then after that, like I think a few days later, I was watching the news and I saw a Maine Republican representative, laurel Libby.

00:11:54.793 --> 00:12:10.128
She was on there speaking and saying that you know she's the one that released the photos and notified the press and started saying that you know Maine's defying this Title IX, you know Maine's defying this executive order.

00:12:10.708 --> 00:12:24.686
And then I actually saw the Maine's Principals Association released a statement and their statement was that we will continue to allow transgender female athletes to compete.

00:12:24.686 --> 00:12:40.453
The executive order and our rights, maine State Human Rights Act, are in conflict, and that the Maine Principals Association will follow state law as it pertains to gender identity.

00:12:40.453 --> 00:12:49.374
So the Maine Principal Association comes out and says federal law, state law.

00:12:49.374 --> 00:12:50.743
They don't see eye to eye.

00:12:50.743 --> 00:12:51.585
There's a conflict.

00:12:51.585 --> 00:13:01.441
We're going by our state law, we're going to stand by our state law and we're going to stand by transgender biological males competing in girls' sports.

00:13:02.322 --> 00:13:03.605
I will say this entire thing.

00:13:03.605 --> 00:13:07.761
I mean I you know how I stand I'm not interested in any of this.

00:13:07.761 --> 00:13:13.552
I am really I don't want to say hurt, I'm.

00:13:13.552 --> 00:13:46.505
I'm more annoyed about the way that the process was handled Because, in the sense that think about it as our, as our daughter, in the sense that think about it as our daughter that news media representative took videos of that child doing the pole vault and sent that to national news and that poor kid's, like regardless of what your gender is, has been plastered all over and some news channels will block their face out but others do not.

00:13:46.505 --> 00:14:01.366
And that's an underage kid Like when there's an underage kid involved in anything else, anything like when you know the school shootings and all that kind of stuff, all of their information is protected because they're underage children.

00:14:01.921 --> 00:14:10.514
I get it and I understand what you're saying, but what I'm going to say is that I feel like they're doing this for this.

00:14:11.226 --> 00:14:15.916
Sure, absolutely, I feel like they're not oblivious to the news.

00:14:15.916 --> 00:14:19.870
Whoever this kid is, and their parents, right, they know what's going to happen.

00:14:19.870 --> 00:14:27.625
They also know that, by federal law, you're going to jeopardize the state of Maine for funding.

00:14:27.625 --> 00:14:32.431
You're going to jeopardize financial funding to your state by taking this stand.

00:14:32.431 --> 00:14:33.636
They're looking for this.

00:14:33.636 --> 00:14:34.407
Sure, they're going to jeopardize financial funding to your state by taking this stand.

00:14:34.407 --> 00:14:34.621
They're looking for this.

00:14:34.621 --> 00:14:35.769
They're going for this.

00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:45.539
When you compete and do something like this this day and age, I think that it's fair game for those things to be put out there.

00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:47.006
What I will say?

00:14:47.006 --> 00:14:49.572
That isn't fair, and you're right.

00:14:49.572 --> 00:14:57.732
It isn fair that that, this, that this kid's being exposed and put out there because the family had no idea and becoming.

00:14:57.753 --> 00:14:58.475
What do you mean?

00:14:58.495 --> 00:15:03.153
the family had no idea that the stuff was plastered all over, yeah, but they had to know it was coming.

00:15:03.153 --> 00:15:05.126
Of course, coming, absolutely.

00:15:05.167 --> 00:15:08.495
That's the thing that's the problem I have with this is like you did this.

00:15:08.495 --> 00:15:13.115
You knew it was going to happen, you knew the consequences that were going to happen and you still went out and did it.

00:15:13.115 --> 00:15:15.693
You're getting what you deserve, absolutely.

00:15:15.693 --> 00:15:24.630
But the point is that the main leadership, main governor and this principal association, they should know better.

00:15:24.630 --> 00:15:28.916
They're jeopardizing this child by allowing this child to compete.

00:15:29.155 --> 00:15:29.356
Right.

00:15:30.046 --> 00:15:35.023
It wasn't fair for that biological male to compete against those girls.

00:15:35.244 --> 00:15:42.278
Absolutely so if it's not fair for them to be plastered all over the internet, then two unfairs don't make it right.

00:15:42.278 --> 00:15:43.058
You know what I'm saying?

00:15:43.058 --> 00:15:49.217
You unfairly competed against biological females and you won.

00:15:49.217 --> 00:15:55.770
Then in turn, if you feel it's unfair that you're going to get plasticized all over the internet, well then tit for tat here.

00:15:55.770 --> 00:15:58.292
I guess the real mistake comes down to leadership.

00:15:58.292 --> 00:16:01.774
Maine leadership should not have let this happen.

00:16:01.774 --> 00:16:10.032
I understand in a previous administration we got pushed around and you were able to do all this nonsense because everybody's feelings were getting hurt.

00:16:10.032 --> 00:16:14.293
You couldn't say things, do things, show things and believe things because it was offensive.

00:16:14.293 --> 00:16:18.033
Those days are over and right, wrong and indifferent.

00:16:18.033 --> 00:16:20.249
Now stands man and woman.

00:16:20.249 --> 00:16:22.870
Now stands Two sexes.

00:16:22.870 --> 00:16:25.426
Now stands there's.

00:16:25.426 --> 00:16:31.533
The leadership in Maine should have protected this child and it should have protected this state by following federal suit.

00:16:31.533 --> 00:16:37.448
This never would have happened if our state had an ever-loving backbone and did what was right.

00:16:37.769 --> 00:16:39.034
Correct, this never would have happened.

00:16:39.034 --> 00:16:52.054
So in my opinion, this child being plastered all over the internet, that weight should be buried on the shoulders of the leadership in Maine that let this shit happen, because the kids are taking advantage of a situation.

00:16:52.054 --> 00:16:53.504
The kids are taking advantage of a situation.

00:16:53.504 --> 00:17:00.376
The parents are taking advantage of the situation those things there's always going to be people in this world that take advantage of situations.

00:17:00.376 --> 00:17:02.171
Leadership needs to stop it.

00:17:02.485 --> 00:17:03.509
This never should have come to this.

00:17:03.509 --> 00:17:04.854
It's insane yeah.

00:17:05.005 --> 00:17:06.009
It's absolutely insane.

00:17:06.009 --> 00:17:27.180
So we see the representative for Maine on the news and we see the statement from the Maine Principals Association and us as a family had the conversation that said unfortunately, right now, president Trump and this administration needs to stand on business.

00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:32.798
They need to stand their ground and stick to what they said.

00:17:32.798 --> 00:17:39.435
And what they said was those schools are going to lose funding and this could turn into states losing government funding.

00:17:39.435 --> 00:17:41.310
They need to stand on business.

00:17:41.310 --> 00:17:53.011
They need to back up what they said, even if it affects our state, because that is what has been said, that is what's been promised, and you can't back out of the promise, because if you're making this statement, this is how things are going to go.

00:17:53.251 --> 00:17:59.049
If you don't make an example when somebody steps out of line, then people are going to continue to step out of line.

00:17:59.049 --> 00:18:10.038
An example needs to be made and we said the entire time I really, truly hope that President Trump actually does what he said he was going to do.

00:18:10.038 --> 00:18:23.125
And true to President Trump and this administration and with everything that they've been doing and saying, they stand on business and they don't go back on what they said.

00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:49.251
And President Trump 1,000% is backing up what he believes, so much so that Governor Powers I mean Austin Powers, I mean Governor Mills went to the White House and, if y'all didn't see it, president Trump called out our governor, and I'm going to play a little bit of that right now so that you guys can actually hear that, in case you did miss this.

00:18:49.653 --> 00:18:57.589
This week Is the main here the governor, are you not going to comply with it?

00:18:57.589 --> 00:19:01.809
Well, I'm, we are the federal law.

00:19:01.809 --> 00:19:03.354
Well, you better do it.

00:19:03.354 --> 00:19:06.734
You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.

00:19:06.734 --> 00:19:14.773
And, by the way, your population even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.

00:19:14.773 --> 00:19:19.914
So you better comply, because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.

00:19:19.914 --> 00:19:22.670
Every state good, I'll see you in court.

00:19:22.670 --> 00:19:23.554
I look forward to that.

00:19:23.554 --> 00:19:24.748
That should be a real easy one.

00:19:24.748 --> 00:19:30.213
And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.

00:19:30.213 --> 00:19:35.111
Every state has a responsibility to comply with Title IX.

00:19:35.111 --> 00:19:42.612
They have an obligation, a legal obligation, and we'll be enforcing aggressively and we're going to be protecting our citizens.

00:19:42.612 --> 00:19:43.354
We're going to protect.

00:19:43.354 --> 00:19:47.208
So just to end this administration.

00:19:48.671 --> 00:19:49.432
Pretty unbelievable.

00:19:49.432 --> 00:19:52.298
He calls out his Maine.

00:19:52.298 --> 00:19:53.460
Here he's the governor here for Maine.

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:55.392
Are you going to comply with this?

00:19:55.392 --> 00:19:57.231
No, we're not going to comply.

00:19:58.265 --> 00:20:00.287
She says with state and federal.

00:20:00.287 --> 00:20:03.573
And he was like I am federal, you moron.

00:20:03.744 --> 00:20:06.548
We're going to abide by what state and federal law?

00:20:06.548 --> 00:20:09.391
Well, we are federal law and federal law overrides state law.

00:20:09.391 --> 00:20:17.173
And before we get into a little bit more about Janet here, in this situation, I also heard that this.

00:20:18.307 --> 00:20:20.232
Is that going to be the new Karen?

00:20:20.634 --> 00:20:21.497
Janet.

00:20:21.497 --> 00:20:22.888
We should start that now.

00:20:22.888 --> 00:20:25.244
Janet, you're being a real Janet right now.

00:20:25.244 --> 00:20:31.637
There's stickers going around our state that literally say hashtag fuck mills.

00:20:31.637 --> 00:20:33.176
And they are now resurfacing, so those have been out for years.

00:20:33.196 --> 00:20:45.057
I mills, and they are now resurfacing, so those have been out for years I know, but they're now resurfacing, I'm gonna make stickers that say don't be a janet in a in a world full of trumps, don't be a janet we should make those.

00:20:45.057 --> 00:20:47.728
That'd be good t-shirts and stickers.

00:20:47.728 --> 00:20:48.509
Coming to you soon.

00:20:48.509 --> 00:20:49.471
Coming to you soon.

00:20:49.471 --> 00:21:02.878
I actually read there's been conflicting reports about how vulgar the statement actually went, but I guess that there was a rep from her office.

00:21:02.878 --> 00:21:10.898
I want to say it was like oh, her chief of staff actually threw a temper tantrum and cursed out a White House official, right after this as well.

00:21:10.919 --> 00:21:13.071
Oh, I believe that, so way to represent Maine in general.

00:21:13.724 --> 00:21:15.951
Seeing this on the news seeing this get blasted everywhere.

00:21:15.951 --> 00:21:18.108
Put Maine on the map With an absolute disgrace.

00:21:18.108 --> 00:21:22.613
Go figure, it's absolutely ridiculous.

00:21:22.613 --> 00:21:35.837
Getting back to Janet, it's my understanding and I'm not the smartest man that lives in Maine here, but I'm pretty sure Janet is Maine's first female governor.

00:21:35.837 --> 00:21:39.935
I'm pretty sure she's our first female governor.

00:21:39.935 --> 00:21:42.252
She's not representing very well.

00:21:42.252 --> 00:21:44.428
Can you imagine for one minute?

00:21:44.428 --> 00:21:53.098
You're the first female governor of Maine and you take your power to rob power away from little girls?

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.403
away from other females, other women in your state.

00:21:56.403 --> 00:22:06.299
You were the first female governor in your state and you take your powers and you use them to disgrace other women in your state.

00:22:06.746 --> 00:22:07.851
I just want it to be known.

00:22:07.851 --> 00:22:11.836
Just take a glimpse of what we're dealing with here in the state of Maine.

00:22:11.836 --> 00:22:20.094
If y'all would have voted for Kamala, that's what you would have done this is what you would have dealt with.

00:22:20.626 --> 00:22:26.265
This is it we would have closed our business and it would have been a whole different scenario.

00:22:26.468 --> 00:22:29.984
I'm saying like in general, I would have closed my business.

00:22:30.487 --> 00:22:31.853
I would have homeschooled our kid.

00:22:31.853 --> 00:22:32.594
It would have been a whole different scenario, right?

00:22:32.594 --> 00:22:32.890
But I'm talking about us personally.

00:22:32.890 --> 00:22:33.462
I would have closed my business, I would have homeschooled our kid.

00:22:33.409 --> 00:22:39.821
It would have been a whole different scenario, right, but I'm talking about like a female standing for other females and that's not happening.

00:22:39.821 --> 00:22:41.282
Not happening in our state, oh heck, no.

00:22:41.502 --> 00:22:41.682
Heck.

00:22:41.682 --> 00:22:46.241
No, kamala Harris was not standing up for women in any sense of the word, and neither is Janet.

00:22:46.241 --> 00:22:46.944
Neither is Janet.

00:22:46.944 --> 00:23:01.367
You're the first female governor in Maine, female governor of Maine and instead of giving power to women empowering your fellow woman you are actually taking power away from them.

00:23:01.367 --> 00:23:02.189
You're making them powerless.

00:23:02.189 --> 00:23:07.886
You should go explain to the girl that competed against Greeley High School and finished second and finished third, fourth and fifth.

00:23:08.307 --> 00:23:17.413
You should explain to them, you should go, go to them and say I used my power that maybe your parents voted for to take power away from you.

00:23:17.413 --> 00:23:20.748
You should humble up and have that conversation yeah that's.

00:23:20.788 --> 00:23:21.791
That's what pisses me off.

00:23:21.791 --> 00:23:36.430
There's some videos that are circulating now from, I guess, like halloween, where janet joined a uh drag show in portland, dressed as I think it was, like a Wonder Woman outfit, parading herself all around the stage.

00:23:36.430 --> 00:23:53.676
So clearly she has her own interests at heart here and not the interest of the American people or the people of Maine, because, as we've said before, over 80% of the population believe that there's no place for men in women's sports.

00:23:53.676 --> 00:23:58.217
Why in the hell are you staking your flag on this nonsense?

00:23:58.217 --> 00:23:59.170
I don't understand it.

00:23:59.904 --> 00:24:02.813
Maybe Janet isn't a Janet after all.

00:24:03.555 --> 00:24:04.217
Maybe she's Jim.

00:24:06.628 --> 00:24:08.133
Maybe she's more of a Harold.

00:24:08.453 --> 00:24:10.097
Probably, and here's the thing.

00:24:10.097 --> 00:24:12.951
I'm just going to say this I don't have anything against transgender.

00:24:12.990 --> 00:24:13.573
No, I don't.

00:24:13.573 --> 00:24:21.277
It doesn't affect us any, it doesn't bother me one bit, it does not bother me one bit Gay straight trans purple makes no difference to us it does not.

00:24:21.404 --> 00:24:26.128
It makes no difference at all If that's how you feel and that's what's okay for little girls and little boys to transition.

00:24:35.785 --> 00:24:37.412
These children are being groomed.

00:24:37.565 --> 00:24:38.528
They're being groomed.

00:24:38.528 --> 00:24:39.109
They're not.

00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:40.315
Unfortunately, they're not making.

00:24:40.605 --> 00:24:43.313
They're not in a position to make decisions for themselves.

00:24:43.313 --> 00:24:44.757
Correct, this is wrong.

00:24:44.757 --> 00:24:55.954
I don't personally feel that anybody from kindergarten all the way up through high school should be making any decisions on transitioning period whatsoever.

00:24:55.954 --> 00:24:56.757
It shouldn't be happening.

00:24:56.757 --> 00:24:58.810
This is grooming.

00:24:58.810 --> 00:25:03.896
They're not making, they should not be in a position to make life-changing decisions.

00:25:03.896 --> 00:25:16.450
Think about it I was not in a position to make those type of decisions about anything as adult decisions when I was 10, 11, 12 years old.

00:25:16.450 --> 00:25:22.169
So I don't it's mind blowing that that there's parents out there that are going to get behind this and support that.

00:25:22.169 --> 00:25:23.753
It's one thing to be like.

00:25:23.753 --> 00:25:25.308
Okay, this is how you're feeling.

00:25:25.308 --> 00:25:30.088
Like let's talk about it, let's have these open conversations and dialogues, let's be supportive.

00:25:30.088 --> 00:25:34.785
But this encouraging, this grooming, this stuff is getting to be ridiculous.

00:25:34.785 --> 00:25:41.897
But the point I'm making here is that I have no problems against transgenders or gays, lesbians.

00:25:42.058 --> 00:25:42.538
It doesn't matter.

00:25:43.425 --> 00:25:44.431
I love all people.

00:25:44.431 --> 00:25:46.251
I got no problem with any people.

00:25:46.251 --> 00:25:55.244
I just have a problem with a biological male competing against a girl, against a biological male competing against a girl, against a biological female, correct.

00:25:55.244 --> 00:26:02.669
And if you don't have a problem with that, then to the biological male that's transitioning, that's now female.

00:26:02.669 --> 00:26:13.367
How would you feel if I joined your sport, right, right, if you see these biological males that are boxing against women, is it fair?

00:26:13.367 --> 00:26:15.413
If now I show up and we go toe-to-toe?

00:26:15.413 --> 00:26:16.517
I don't think it is.

00:26:16.517 --> 00:26:17.628
You wouldn't say it is.

00:26:17.628 --> 00:26:19.213
So what you're doing isn't fair.

00:26:19.213 --> 00:26:20.651
That's what I have a problem with here.

00:26:21.766 --> 00:26:25.394
And that's why I don't understand why the state of Maine wants to just stand on this hill.

00:26:25.394 --> 00:26:26.877
You gave me an article.

00:26:26.877 --> 00:26:31.513
Actually, I think this isn't even an article, I just think a Mainer wrote this right.

00:26:31.673 --> 00:26:38.660
Yeah, it's just a Mainer, basically chirping back about what she has to say Looks like Nicole.

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:48.597
Baker is the person that wrote this, but I think that this really summarizes a lot of how the state of Maine is feeling 110%.

00:26:48.625 --> 00:26:58.276
So for the people that are listening, that are looking for a Mainer's perspective on Mainer's current spotlight, then I think another fellow Mainer did a great job summing this all up.

00:26:58.276 --> 00:27:01.914
So I'm just going to go ahead and read this word for word here.

00:27:01.914 --> 00:27:02.497
So bear with me.

00:27:02.497 --> 00:27:05.513
Some of this is kind of the first time I dig through this.

00:27:05.513 --> 00:27:13.846
But families had no money to take her to court when she kicked children out of schools because they did not comply to her state law.

00:27:13.846 --> 00:27:16.694
Mask up or you're out, she said.

00:27:16.694 --> 00:27:19.201
If you don't comply, no education.

00:27:19.201 --> 00:27:23.893
She has ruined our healthcare system because she said comply or no job.

00:27:23.893 --> 00:27:26.077
Hospitals are literally shutting down.

00:27:26.077 --> 00:27:35.337
Now Trump says comply to federal law or no funding, and she refuses to comply and uses our money to go to court.

00:27:35.337 --> 00:27:36.660
She's a hypocrite.

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:42.096
May justice come swiftly, as Maine people will continue to suffer because of her behaviors.

00:27:42.096 --> 00:27:44.712
She did not stand up to Trump.

00:27:44.712 --> 00:27:47.272
She embarrassed Maine people.

00:27:47.272 --> 00:27:50.806
Her behavior does not signify having a backbone.

00:27:50.806 --> 00:27:58.329
It highlights her ignoring the fact that both sides of the aisle in Maine agree with this executive order.

00:27:58.329 --> 00:28:07.065
If you or I disrespected our supervisor in that manner, we would have consequences and or be terminated.

00:28:07.065 --> 00:28:11.961
However, some good will come out of this, because Maine will now be President Trump's focus.

00:28:12.589 --> 00:28:14.277
It's our turn to be exposed.

00:28:14.277 --> 00:28:18.240
Doge needs to investigate and expose the good, bad and ugly.

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.940
Mainers deserve to know what the heck is happening with our money.

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:23.619
Where has the federal money gone to support our homeless?

00:28:23.619 --> 00:28:24.809
Where has the federal money gone to support our homeless?

00:28:24.809 --> 00:28:27.558
Where has the federal money gone to support our veterans?

00:28:27.558 --> 00:28:30.960
Where has the federal money gone to support our substance users?

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.299
Where has the federal money gone to support our schools?

00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:36.498
Why do we have homeless and hungry children?

00:28:36.498 --> 00:28:39.920
Why don't we have enough providers to meet the needs of Maine people?

00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:45.262
Why is MaineCare unable to pay their bills, forcing hospitals to close and doctors to stop treating?

00:28:45.262 --> 00:28:47.571
Do you want to?

00:28:47.593 --> 00:28:49.454
know why our hospitals are closing?

00:28:49.454 --> 00:28:58.494
Because our governor decided to send our hospital I work for the largest hospital in New England sent us an I-O-U.

00:28:59.750 --> 00:29:04.436
Yeah, that reminds me of like the movie Dumb and Dumber, at the end when they're just handing.

00:29:04.436 --> 00:29:06.494
They ran out of money so they're handing out IOUs.

00:29:06.494 --> 00:29:09.602
They open the briefcase, here you go, here you go.

00:29:10.009 --> 00:29:10.371
And the.

00:29:10.411 --> 00:29:14.361
IOU says Lamborghini, that's a big one, that's a big IOU.

00:29:14.761 --> 00:29:27.865
Yeah, our governor decided that it was going to put paying for the health care system that you know takes care of the sick, takes care of the hurt.

00:29:27.865 --> 00:29:29.576
We're going to send them an IOU.

00:29:29.576 --> 00:29:33.240
How are those people supposed to keep the lights on?

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.932
It's not your insurance, because guess what Insurance?

00:29:36.932 --> 00:29:44.200
We all know is a crock of shit, but sent the main Health a.

00:29:45.061 --> 00:29:45.763
IOU.

00:29:45.763 --> 00:29:50.970
Think about the fact that how many ways to Sunday she's dicked our healthcare.

00:29:50.970 --> 00:29:55.902
If you think about mandating the vaccine for healthcare.

00:29:55.902 --> 00:29:58.518
How many people lost their job over that?

00:29:58.518 --> 00:29:58.959
Yep.

00:29:59.990 --> 00:30:16.430
During COVID she had not funded I think it was three veterans homes and they all closed, immediately, shut their doors and not set, did not set up other homes for these people to go to.

00:30:16.430 --> 00:30:21.596
It was their family's responsibility to find other homes for these people to go in.

00:30:21.596 --> 00:30:24.278
Two of them in particular, I know One.

00:30:24.278 --> 00:30:30.185
I think the company, like the VA, stepped in and was like all right, enough is enough.

00:30:30.586 --> 00:30:44.963
Yeah, You're sinking veteran homes, You're taking employees from health care, and then so I mean the health care systems in our state still haven't recovered from losing all those employees because they're not coming back.

00:30:44.963 --> 00:30:46.634
No, they're not coming back.

00:30:46.634 --> 00:30:54.038
Every healthcare facility is understaffed and undermanned, and now they're not even being paid.

00:30:54.830 --> 00:31:29.036
And then the money she depends on to even pay these things when she's not writing IOUs is federal money that she's now not going to get at all because she wants to die on this hill right here, there's countless stories out there about Governor Janet and some of the things that maybe her brother's up to, some of the other things that have happened during COVID, where these businesses are going under and she's in these shady deals to buy up land.

00:31:29.036 --> 00:31:33.144
There's rumors about her family buying land.

00:31:33.144 --> 00:31:35.633
There's rumors about her selling land to China.

00:31:35.633 --> 00:31:43.643
There's all kinds of ridiculous just shady rumors about what's going on in Maine politics right now.

00:31:43.643 --> 00:32:04.221
And, man, if Doge comes in and starts finding some of these things and can expose a paper trail of um, if there's, if some of this stuff is true and this can be exposed, then her going to the white house and being an absolute idiot to be the best thing to happen to our state.

00:32:05.364 --> 00:32:10.500
I agree, and I think he's going to make an example out of her.

00:32:10.589 --> 00:32:11.615
Yeah, you pissed him off.

00:32:11.674 --> 00:32:11.855
Yeah.

00:32:12.510 --> 00:32:15.579
And why are we the first state to buck up?

00:32:15.579 --> 00:32:27.365
This governor and some of the politicians in our state want Maine to be like California or Massachusetts, so bad they can taste it.

00:32:27.365 --> 00:32:30.858
They want us to be liberal country.

00:32:30.858 --> 00:32:31.721
That's all they want.

00:32:31.721 --> 00:32:34.799
They want to make Maine something that it isn't.

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:36.236
Maine is farmland.

00:32:36.236 --> 00:32:38.798
It is hardworking blue-blooded Americans.

00:32:38.849 --> 00:32:40.015
We're a bunch of rednecks around here.

00:32:40.436 --> 00:32:45.549
Right, I couldn't believe she was elected the first time around.

00:32:45.549 --> 00:32:48.517
And then the fact that she won in a re-election.

00:32:48.517 --> 00:32:56.984
Jesus, I will say, the only reason why she won in a re-election is they outspent paula page by millions of dollars.

00:32:56.984 --> 00:32:58.147
They were.

00:32:58.167 --> 00:33:14.217
They were buying, buying votes like nobody's business I just can't wait for Trump to just make an appearance because, let's just be honest, we'll put Maine on the map for the right reason, because all of us will come out of the woodworks and you'll see what Maine's really about.

00:33:15.711 --> 00:33:17.919
We're all going to stand ten-tone down.

00:33:18.550 --> 00:33:31.858
My uncle said he went to see him the last time he was here and I hope he does come back and I hope that we get the went to see him the last time he was here and I hope he does come back and I hope that we get the opportunity to show him what we actually really are about and how much we support him.

00:33:35.451 --> 00:33:38.941
I'd like to see the list of all the things that our governor was doing.

00:33:38.941 --> 00:33:41.617
I hope that if Doge does come in.

00:33:41.778 --> 00:33:42.661
Here's the opportunity.

00:33:42.990 --> 00:33:43.875
I hope he does.

00:33:44.670 --> 00:34:00.142
Not only are you going to mess with the state of Maine and the funding, you're going to take money away from your people that voted for you, but you're going to get the watchdog let out on you and they're going to find some of the nonsense that our state does.

00:34:00.490 --> 00:34:06.058
Because she's been in office for too long, so she's had like years of doing this.

00:34:09.376 --> 00:34:09.697
I don't know.

00:34:09.697 --> 00:34:13.708
I think she signed her death wish this week at the.

00:34:13.728 --> 00:34:13.949
White House.

00:34:13.949 --> 00:34:19.068
She barked up the wrong tree and we're just going to get the popcorn and sit back.

00:34:20.831 --> 00:34:22.273
This is the opportunity to see change.

00:34:22.452 --> 00:34:29.019
That's all I can hope for we need to Because our taxes are through the roof Compared to other states.

00:34:29.019 --> 00:34:31.342
We are robbed.

00:34:31.521 --> 00:34:36.007
Well, they say that actually Maine is one of the most expensive states to live in.

00:34:36.007 --> 00:34:37.612
Why, and we don't?

00:34:37.612 --> 00:34:40.016
Our medium income is not near.

00:34:40.016 --> 00:34:42.762
I know several of the other states.

00:34:42.762 --> 00:34:46.389
So we're overtaxed on nonsense, and that's what it comes down to.

00:34:46.469 --> 00:34:52.077
For the simple fact that everybody calls Maine vacation land and everyone comes here.

00:34:52.731 --> 00:34:54.550
You can't afford to vacation here Not anymore.

00:34:54.550 --> 00:34:56.137
At least you haven't been able to for the past few years.

00:34:56.137 --> 00:35:10.318
And then all these mom and pop shops that were the mystique of Maine, the small business that added the magic wonderment of Maine right that if you're coming to Maine for vacation.

00:35:10.409 --> 00:35:11.795
You're going to vacation land.

00:35:11.795 --> 00:35:20.141
You're going to see pine trees, mountains, ocean, small business, back homes, down home type of feel.

00:35:20.141 --> 00:35:23.621
You want that feel good, neighborly vibe.

00:35:23.621 --> 00:35:33.994
And that's what small businesses in Maine have done for years and COVID and the directions of this government put those businesses under and so many of them didn't come back.

00:35:33.994 --> 00:35:39.557
Small business in Maine has been getting just torn to shreds and it's sad to see.

00:35:40.190 --> 00:35:50.483
There's a lot of those nonsense laws and rules that our governor once again put into place, like during covid, that really just sent everybody.

00:35:50.483 --> 00:35:51.746
They just couldn't.

00:35:52.367 --> 00:35:58.411
I said it during covid that the real, true impact of what happened in our state wouldn't have been felt in a year or two years.

00:35:58.411 --> 00:36:09.771
It would take three to five years to really feel it, because there were so many businesses that just couldn't afford to pay for anything and they were falling behind on rent, on equipment, on all these different things.

00:36:09.771 --> 00:36:12.960
And now it's really caught up to them and you can see it.

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:17.800
You can see it in our state by how many businesses are gone and how many stores are left empty.

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.163
So it's sad.

00:36:19.163 --> 00:36:47.275
I really think it's unfortunate that Maine's moment in the sun has been an embarrassing one, but I truly hope that this will actually shine a light on what's good here in Maine and hopefully President Trump can come here and put us on the list and save us, because the unfortunate thing is, I always feel like Maine is forgotten and we've talked about it for years where it always feels like trends take forever to get to Maine.

00:36:47.436 --> 00:36:52.414
We talk about it like by the time a fashion trend makes it to Maine, it's over.

00:36:52.414 --> 00:36:53.750
Like the trend is over right.

00:36:53.750 --> 00:37:00.893
By the time the song makes it to Maine, it's off the billboard charts, like we were so behind in everything that.

00:37:00.893 --> 00:37:05.096
It's the same thing with, like the economy Things take forever to get here.

00:37:05.096 --> 00:37:09.619
So, like, when the rest of the country is getting hit, maine's still doing good.

00:37:09.619 --> 00:37:13.416
But the problem is is when we're the last one to get hit by the economy.

00:37:13.416 --> 00:37:15.351
We're the last one to come out of a bad economy.

00:37:15.351 --> 00:37:23.576
So, because old janet put us on the map, maybe we won't get forgotten about this time and instead we'll lead the curve.

00:37:23.576 --> 00:37:33.460
We'll be the example and, together with President Trump and hopefully with Elon Musk, we'll make a damn difference and we'll get Maine to be great again.

00:37:35.371 --> 00:37:36.273
Seriously, we need it.

00:37:36.293 --> 00:37:37.431
The golden age of Maine.

00:37:37.431 --> 00:37:38.597
It's going to be beautiful.

00:37:38.597 --> 00:37:39.893
It's going to be big.

00:37:39.893 --> 00:37:41.396
It's going to be beautiful.

00:37:41.396 --> 00:37:42.260
Maine's going to be blessed.

00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:43.222
It's going to be big, it's going to be beautiful.

00:37:43.222 --> 00:37:44.206
Maine's going to be blessed.

00:37:44.206 --> 00:37:47.056
It's going to be so blessed we're going to be tired of being blessed.

00:37:47.056 --> 00:37:56.057
Well, that's my political rant for the evening, and baby love over there, just she heard you talking about Trump.

00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:57.869
She did you look at that, daddy?

00:37:57.869 --> 00:38:02.001
She said all aboard Tutti.

00:38:03.492 --> 00:38:04.315
Love you honey.

00:38:04.315 --> 00:38:06.391
No crying Until next time.

00:38:06.391 --> 00:38:09.641
Thank you for supporting American Dream.

00:38:09.641 --> 00:38:10.914
Now go wash.
