>> Wesley Wildmon: Play dead.

>> Ed Vitagliano: You stay away from the beach. That's. That's how you survive.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Not like a grizzly bear, where you play dead.

>> Ed Vitagliano: No, I don't think sharks care if you.

>> Tim Wildmon: No, you play possum with the shark. I don't think.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I think you play dead with a brown bear. With a black bear supposed to fight back.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, it is. 50th anniversary of the movie Jaws. I don't know when the book came out exactly, but anyway, the movie came out.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I read. I read the book. I had a teacher in high school said, hey, you like to read? Read this.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Ed Vitagliano: And I read it. It was excellent. This was before the movie came out. Then he gave me a copy of, War and Peace. No.

>> Tim Wildmon: Quit reading forever.

>> Ed Vitagliano: What's the, the one about the demon possessed girl? Kerry. No.

>> Tim Wildmon: The Shiny Exorcist.

>> Ed Vitagliano: The Exorcist. Thank you. And I started reading. I was not a Christian at the time, and I got about halfway through that, and I said, I'm not reading this. It scared me big time.

>> Tim Wildmon: Who was the author of that?

>> Ed Vitagliano: That's, Stephen King was, Blatty. William Peter Bladdy. anyway, so I gave it back to the Teacher, I said, this is scaring me. I didn't, you know, I kind of believed in God and, But stuff about.

>> Steve Jordahl: The devil, probably to scare you more now than it did then.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes, well, and I, I never watched the movie or anything like that. so anyway, is that the movie.

>> Tim Wildmon: When Linda Blair's head spins around?

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, yeah, like an hour. And the Blair she played, the.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Whatever happened to her?

>> Ed Vitagliano: I don't, I don't know. She, she went on to do some other things, but she was the girl with the head that spins around.

>> Steve Jordahl: That's. After that, that was, that's who she was. Downhill.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right, go ahead, Steve.

>> Steve Jordahl: Linda, Blair was an American actress.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, well, yeah, go ahead, tell us what happened to Linda Blair.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Peter Blatty, B L A T Y was the author of the book the Exorcist.

President Trump is expected to make an announcement on artificial intelligence today

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, so we were supposed to hear from President Trump. We are going to hear from this show, Trump sometime today, not on this show, but on our, on the big screen, on the small screen. He's going to be announcing AI. Big, huge AI announcement. I haven't seen it yet, but I did go to the White House website where they posted their big announcement.

>> Tim Wildmon: What did they post?

>> Steve Jordahl: They posted the big announcement. This is the White House unveils America's AI action plan. It's the best action plan ever. And they got four bullet points that they're going to say. And the first one is they're going to try to export American AI. So they want to put apps and different technology together that they can give to our friends or they can sell to our friends so that they have our version of AI. China's doing this. They call this their Belt and Road initiative. They're coming into other countries and they are influencing, those other countries. We're going to try to get our AI out to them. And the second bullet point, they're going to be putting a ton of money into data, data centers and power centers. Third, they're going to enable innovation and adaptation. They're going to remove federal regulations that hinder AI development. And then fourth, they are going to update the federal procurement guidelines to ensure that the government only contracts with, with large language model developers who ensure that their systems are objective and free from top down ideological balance biases.

>> Ed Vitagliano: So that's going to Be what the president is talking about.

>> Steve Jordahl: That's what he's going to. This is his. Yes, that's what he's going to be saying. Talking about. It's important.

>> Tim Wildmon: I'm looking forward to this speech. Trump, Trump, Trump. Talking AI. That's. That's going to be fun. Well, am I right?

>> Steve Jordahl: You're right. it's important because China's. We're in a battle with China for the dominance of this. And we come to find out in a related story, according to the foundation for the Defense of Democracy, that China has quietly seized control of more than 80% of all materials used to build batteries. And these batteries are used in defense, national defense equipment.

>> Wesley Wildmon: So, not just your average. Not just your double A.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, those two, okay, Those two, they, they dominate graphite, cobalt, manganese, and battery anode and cathode materials. so they have, courted the market, and it's a choke point if they wanted to have some. Some problems with our defense. They deny, us the batteries, and we're. We're in trouble.

>> Wesley Wildmon: that's a lot. That's not the only thing, though, you got. We learned during COVID how much of.

>> Tim Wildmon: The, pharmaceutical industry, depends on Chinese, products.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, we depend on them for the disease and for the cure.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, we're just. We're just gonna have to take Greenland and take their rare earth minerals.

>> Tim Wildmon: those fishermen, I don't think they could.

>> Ed Vitagliano: You don't think we can take them?

>> Tim Wildmon: The US Navy versus the fishermen of Greenland. But that. Now that's a rocky movie right there.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, they could be a good movie.

>> Tim Wildmon: Back to U.S. navy. what do you think? No, no, they could, all right?

>> Ed Vitagliano: But they. They are. I wouldn't want to mess with them.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay?

>> Ed Vitagliano: But that.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's the Greenland fishermen.

>> Ed Vitagliano: They're burly, okay? They're burly. You don't want to mess with burley fishermen individually.

>> Steve Jordahl: No, but that's just the water with the sharks.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I want.

Push to beat China at AI makes me nervous, says Soylent

I want to just say this about the, A.I. thing. This makes me nervous. Now, I'm a baby boomer, and technology makes me nervous just in general, okay? But this idea of rushing ahead to get ahead of the Chinese taking off regulations and restrictions makes me nervous because. Okay, I certainly want us to beat the Chinese at this and be a world leader in AI and that kind of development, but I'm nervous about, about going so fast. Listen, I just saw a documentary about these scientists who recreated dinosaurs. Okay? Have you seen this? And they had it on an island and then the dinosaurs got away.

>> Steve Jordahl: I did see that movie.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Started eating people.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Okay, this.

>> Tim Wildmon: Is that a documentary, wasn't it?

>> Ed Vitagliano: The documentary. One of the scientists said, just because. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's a problem.

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, so that's. Beating China at AI isn't like, oh, yeah, we beat China like the Raiders beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. It's not. They had. Whoever wins this has the on off switch for the world.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes. And, and what happens when AI says, hey, guess what? Now we're not letting you turn us off. Ah, that's what I'm saying. That's my concern.

>> Steve Jordahl: You are right to be concerned. I've talked with many experts, who say. In fact, I didn't talk with, but I did listen to one who says there's a 90% chance that we're not going to survive AI as a world. Now, I think there's some theological problems with that.

>> Wesley Wildmon: So then you just destroy AI, or teaching.

>> Ed Vitagliano: All I'm saying is we need to be careful about AI and the push to beat the Chinese at it might make us, instead of being cautious, take risks that we might later regret. Well, and I, and I, and I. I point you to this documentary of which I spoke.

>> Steve Jordahl: I think it's in three parts now.

>> Ed Vitagliano: It's got more parts than that.

>> Tim Wildmon: I don't.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I do just enough with the technology. Ah. To do my job.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I'm gonna, I'm gonna be lost.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, listen, I mean, I'm not. I'll just tell you. It's just in the last year that I've not been terrified, of self checkout at the, at the Kroger. I, walk up when I'm by myself.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: I also, my wife, she's just.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I'm with you.

>> Tim Wildmon: She just does that self checkout thing. And I, I'm, like going, you know what?

>> Ed Vitagliano: My wife, we did this. We went together and, and, and I said I was going to help her with the self checkout. She said, please stop. I'm, serious. This is. No, it was.

>> Tim Wildmon: I know why it didn't take.

>> Ed Vitagliano: It didn't turn ugly. But I was putting stuff in bags that she had and she said, please stop. Just stand over there and watch and observe.

>> Tim Wildmon: Maybe one day you can, you can hope to achieve this.

>> Ed Vitagliano: She said, I'm trying to be ugly. Just trying to keep us from getting arrested.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Put stuff in a bag that I've.

>> Tim Wildmon: Gone in for yet.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes.

>> Tim Wildmon: I've gone in three Times with, I'm proud of myself, ma'. Am. Just with multiple items and not had to call the lady over or the lady comes over on her own, she sees what's happening. And you can't take that thing. You bag it up. You better leave it on that. yes. Yeah, you take it off. They like alarm, goes off.

>> Ed Vitagliano: It's infuriating to me. They give you about one square foot.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yes, I know.

>> Ed Vitagliano: To put all your. All your bags.

>> Tim Wildmon: I'm with you, brother.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I. It's infuriating to me. I wish they just kept people.

>> Tim Wildmon: That's why I go to the most time I go to. I don't care if I have stand to people back.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. you know, pretty soon they'll be feeding you Soylent green and it'll only take up about that much room, soil and green.

Stephanie Turner refused to compete against man pretending to be woman

>> Tim Wildmon: Next story.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Three quarters of our audience does not understand.

>> Steve Jordahl: Look it up, people.

>> Tim Wildmon: What is that?

>> Steve Jordahl: You remember back in April, there was a fencing match, a college fencing match. It was actually a USA fencing match at the University of Maryland. And one of the fencers, her name was Stephanie Turner, found out that she was fencing against a man who pretended to be a woman. And she refused to do it. She took a knee and, shook the man's hand and walked off. Forfeited the match. Well, she was disqualified from that event, obviously, and given a 12 month probation from fencing. She was banned from the sport for a year.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Well, for forfeiting.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: We're not playing a dude.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Because it's a dude.

>> Steve Jordahl: For not playing a dude. I mean, you can.

>> Tim Wildmon: There's a happy ending to this story.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Ah.

>> Tim Wildmon: yeah, go ahead.

USA Fencing changed its policy on gender mixed events

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, so, USA Fencing took a lot of heat for that and they have changed their policy. USA Fencing, sanctioned events according to the policy, that they have just released are not gender mixed. We, we will offer two categories, Men's and women's categories. The following guidelines should be applied to each women's category athletes or of the female sex, provided all other entry criteria have been met. That they're qualified defense. Right, but they have to be women. They apparently know what that is. AUSA Fencing, men's category. Open to all athletes not eligible for the women's category. Transgender women. Transgender men. Non binary intersex athletes. Cisgender. Male athletes provided all other. So you know, see how many girls.

>> Tim Wildmon: guys, what exactly is cisgender?

>> Steve Jordahl: That's a term you are that. No. Yeah.

>> Ed Vitagliano: are you saying that Tim is not cisgender?

>> Steve Jordahl: I'm saying it's I don't. It's a term that they have coined to make you say that you're in a category that doesn't exist, which is transgender and cisgender.

>> Ed Vitagliano: So cisgender, though, does refer to heterosexual.

>> Tim Wildmon: But you're saying I do exist.

>> Ed Vitagliano: They want you to play. They want you to play the trans game.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes.

>> Ed Vitagliano: By declaring that you are a category. That you're in a category.

>> Steve Jordahl: You're in a category of trans, which is not.

>> Ed Vitagliano: But you do exist.

>> Tim Wildmon: Tim, I've got whiplash here between Ed and Steve Wesley. You understand what they're talking about?

>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, then our audience might not. Steve, are you a cisgender?

>> Tim Wildmon: Am I a cisgender?

>> Steve Jordahl: Yes. Sis is. I think it's a Latin pre. prefix, meaning.

>> Tim Wildmon: I know it used to mean. Sissy is what it used to mean.

>> Ed Vitagliano: It's cis. This is. This is good, Steve, when you want to simplify things a lot.

>> Steve Jordahl: Basically, when they created a category of transgender.

>> Steve Jordahl: So you said what are you transgender? No, I'm normal. Well, they didn't want. They didn't want to have that distance.

>> Wesley Wildmon: There you go.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: So they had to. Had to assign a name to you.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, I got you in the pantheon.

>> Steve Jordahl: Of sexual expression, which they created.

>> Tim Wildmon: I got you, from.

>> Steve Jordahl: And CIS is, where they put you.

>> Tim Wildmon: Which is why I don't use that term.

>> Steve Jordahl: That is why you don't use that term.

>> Ed Vitagliano: They want you to use it so that you play their game.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Instead of saying, I'm a male. Yes, I'm a male.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Because how do you know?

>> Tim Wildmon: Right.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, you can say you're a male, that. You could say you're a heterosexual male. I think they would understand that. But they would call you cisgender because it's on the gender spectrum and they want to place everybody on the spectrum. So it's normalized.

>> Tim Wildmon: The good news is here that the America is. What's the name of the professional organization?

>> Steve Jordahl: USA Fencing.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. Fencing is basically, I've never seen it in person, but I've seen it on tv. I think most people know what it is. It's. I think it's an Olympic sport, but it is. It's where people sword fight without hurting each other.

>> Steve Jordahl: Correct. Usually.

>> Tim Wildmon: If I got it right.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.

>> Tim Wildmon: And so, I don't know if you. I guess you would call where they were.

>> Wesley Wildmon: The. You usually see them in the all white. They have a padded chest cover and they have a face mask on.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yes. And they score points by the way.

>> Steve Jordahl: They like touching the other person's

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, with the point.

Fencing organization reverses ban on transgender athletes in women's sports

With the end.

>> Steve Jordahl: With the point.

>> Tim Wildmon: But. But it is a. It's a physically demanding sport. And so this woman, was forced to compete against a man, and it was a guy who said he was a girl. And now the fencing organization has reversed that, and.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, but to humor us here, could you one more time read their concluding statement about the men? Yes.

>> Steve Jordahl: You can read this down the next page right here. No, keep going.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, one more. Today's Issues audience. Listen to this one more time. This is their.

>> Tim Wildmon: Who are we quoting?

>> Steve Jordahl: The men's category.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Okay.

>> Steve Jordahl: So the women's category. Athletes who are female.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, men's category. Everybody else. Yes.

>> Ed Vitagliano: No matter how you identify, you've got to be in that.

>> Steve Jordahl: Transgender.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Oh, I like that. I thought about that.

>> Tim Wildmon: Is that going to make the,

>> Wesley Wildmon: This fixes a problem.

>> Ed Vitagliano: A trans woman who's actually a man would have to fence in that category.

>> Steve Jordahl: Both of them would.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yes, that's right. That's the point.

>> Steve Jordahl: Both of them. Even a. Even a woman says she's a man or a man who says she's a woman.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Oh, right. But. But women don't. That's. Looking for that.

>> Wesley Wildmon: That's the point. Yeah, I think that's.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, they would have to. This would be the same thing in. In swimming. It would be, yeah, if you. If you're a dude.

>> Ed Vitagliano: And, what I'm saying. What I'm saying is I. I have yet to see. I've seen men who claim to be a woman wanting to participate in women's sports. I've never seen a woman who claims to be a man want to go up against dudes, because no one's going.

>> Steve Jordahl: To show a race where someone finishes three minutes behind the rest of the field.

>> Wesley Wildmon: But for the purpose of a rule or guideline or law, however you want to look at it or principle, they're saying if you are. Because we know the physical differences between men and women. So they're saying if you are a woman, you playing women's sports. And just. Just to get everything out there. They're covering everybody else.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes.

>> Wesley Wildmon: All 700 possible options, you had to play in the men's sports. Yes, because that's the most. That's the most competitive of the two.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Categories. Because. Well, another alternative. I've said in the past that. Or just create a third category. So you got men's sports, women's sports, and then everyone else. Sports.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Nobody, would watch that.

>> Steve Jordahl: Like, they're not watching the wnba. It's the Same thing. It's not good. It's just not good. They had their all star game, I hear the other day, and the lady who won, the, they had a compilation of all the. She. She had 10 turnovers because she couldn't pass the ball.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Oh.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. M. In defense of women's basketball, go ahead.

>> Steve Jordahl: You're on your own.

>> Tim Wildmon: They may not conduct, but there are some good, skill.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, they don't play in the WNBA according to everything I've seen. Not that I watch it, but.

>> Tim Wildmon: You don't watch it. How do you know?

>> Steve Jordahl: I watch. Little clips of it show up on my timeline.

>> Tim Wildmon: So they sell clips of failure?

>> Steve Jordahl: Oh, yeah.

>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.

Steve: I support women. I support the woman who helps me at the self checkout

>> Steve Jordahl: It's very satisfying.

>> Tim Wildmon: All right. Anyway, go ahead, Steve.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Next.

>> Tim Wildmon: Listen, I watched a little Caitlin Clark got me interested in, in the wnba.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Jenner, Caitlin Clark and Clark.

>> Tim Wildmon: And so I'm, I keep up with her and I keep up with that a little bit. And so. But I'm just saying there's some skill associated with

>> Steve Jordahl: It is a different sport.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, they don't dunk and they can't have, you know, can't. It's not as physical, but they. Passing, shooting, dribbling, those kinds of things. They are very, they are very talented.

>> Wesley Wildmon: I think what he was referring to though is just the sheer number of people that watch it.

>> Ed Vitagliano: No, I'm with today. I'm. I support women. I just want to be. Make that public. I'm not going to be one of those who.

>> Tim Wildmon: I just. I want to know. I support the woman who helps me at the self checkout. That woman is talented. I'll just tell you that right now. She can like put them four things on there and get them bagged up before I even get my credit card out. It's amazing.

>> Ed Vitagliano: You're talking about your wife, aren't you?

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, her too. Yeah. I go, Steve.

Greg Craig says schools are hiding transition of children from parents

>> Steve Jordahl: All right, listen, there's a guy named, Greg, Schaller who is the head of the center.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Greg Craig.

>> Steve Jordahl: You know Greg. He's the head of the Centennial Institute, Colorado, Christian University. He has come out with, an opinion piece at Fox that is highlighting what he is calling a quiet but deeply troubling trend sweeping through the nation's public schools. He has some examples. This isn't exhaustive.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Great. Another bad trend. Yeah, lay it on a, Steve.

>> Steve Jordahl: This is the trend of schools hiding life changing events like the sexual transition, so called transition of children from parents. Hiding the. Yeah, it is from parents. So Leon County, Florida. they are secretly facilitating A girl's transition, they developed a gender support plan without informing her parents. Ludlow, Massachusetts. Scantell's New York Spreckles Union School District in California. Delaware Valley Regional High School in New Jersey. All of these are examples that he gives of schools that have helped these kids, become, try to be the other gender and hid that from parents.

>> Ed Vitagliano: First of all, if I was living in a town named Spreckles, I would, I would move. I don't care, I don't care what the politics of the town is. I'm not telling you.

>> Wesley Wildmon: But. So, okay, even if you had a really good paying job, you're saying you would just move right outside of Spreckles and I'd move outside of Sprinkles?

>> Ed Vitagliano: M. I might move to working.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah.

>> Ed Vitagliano: In Spreckles.

>> Steve Jordahl: Okay, so Spreckles is actually a, jam. There's a jam called Spreckles, I think.

>> Tim Wildmon: Well, that's the reason.

>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. Yeah. It's what they make there.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I'd say so in Florida, now that they've passed law, they. Is that criminally liable? I mean, I know Florida's passed some really strong legislation against this kind of thing. Well, this is, Are there, are there teeth to this law where these teachers could go to jail or.

>> Steve Jordahl: Well, we're going to find. The Goldwater Institute is suing in, in, in Florida. That one case in Florida. I don't know what their state, of, the law is. This would not fall under the law you guys were talking about with Jenna of children in, in Right. Sexually explicit situations.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I, I just. Listen, I, I, I, I'm, and this, that was a sincere sigh that I, just gave the, the idea of adults hiding this kind of thing from parents, I just want to bring back, I want to go back to the days when men would show up at that school and if it's a man who did this, drag him outside and beat him. Because he's doing this coming between a kid and parents. Now, if it's a woman, obviously,

>> Tim Wildmon: If he did what.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Now, if, if they helped a child transition genders but hid it from the parents.

>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, yeah, that's.

>> Ed Vitagliano: You take them behind the gym.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, that's, that's awful. That's, that is illegal. It should. If it, I mean, you can't mess, you know.

>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, that's good. That's in Florida, though. That's got to be illegal.

>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Governor Santos will be all over. We got one minute left, Steve.

>> Steve Jordahl: All right. the, the constitution and democracy is in Danger. Danger, everybody. Danger, Will Robinson.

Sunny Hostin says cancellation of Stephen Colbert show could be political

This is View, host Sunny Hostin talking about the cancellation of colbert show cut 14.

>> Speaker E: We don't know if it's purely financial. I mean, if you look at some of the numbers, but the time, it could be. It could be financial, and I don't know that it's purely political. It could be, but my concern is if it is political, then everyone should be concerned. People on the right should be concerned. People on the left should be concerned. Because it's very clear that if it is political, this is the dismantling of our democracy. This is the dismantling of our Constitution.

>> Tim Wildmon: Right?

>> Speaker E: And so the First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason. and that is freedom of the.

>> Tim Wildmon: Are they cheering the dismantling of the democracy?

>> Steve Jordahl: They are.

>> Ed Vitagliano: They're cheering what she was saying. That Stephen Colbert show getting canceled. Could be. Listen, I just want to say to Sunny Hostin, okay, you raging hypocrite, okay, Talk about dismantling the Constitution. What did you do during COVID When did you want people to be forced to take the shot? is that what you did? What, you wanted people to be removed off social media when they mentioned ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine?
