[00:30] please click that button and subscribe today all right quick question before we get started tonight what do you think is the hardest thing to do in america in 2026 starting a business buying a house getting a straight answer out of the federal government wrong it's wearing a t-shirt sunday night in atlanta a mom and her 17 year old daughter paid a thousand dollars a piece to sit three rows off the floor at a wnba nba game and over time security grabbed their walkie-talkies walked over to them and told them their shirts were offensive you know what the shirt said double x two letters also a chromosome somebody in that arena looked at a chromosome and called it hate speech that is an expensive lesson in biology and it wasn't even the worst thing that happened in atlanta this week now so tonight let's get into it and this is we're going to start off on a lighter note sort of but but not really in dallas fort worth the airport fourth busiest airport somebody spotted a state filing for ablution stations foot washing basins voodoo one of the men one for the men's room one for the women's room and one i guess they're in terminal d thankfully the internet did what the internet does they're coming for a stall near you let's watch the city of dallas and dallas fort port will be dropping 300

[02:00] grand on foot washing stations you know where muslims can wash their feet and hands before praying and this is actually as the result of many people complaining about muslims washing their feet in the sinks i mean like holy assimilation batman right

[02:19] holy assimilation batman but here's the good news it's not coming friday night dfw put out a statement they have accelerated their review quote due to elevated public interest and determined not to proceed elevated public interest that's the nicest way to say to ever say we got caught so let me tell you what actually happened because they're never going to say it themselves regular people saw filing for voodoo basins regular people said no we don't want muslims washing their feet in the airport not just no but not let's have a dialogue not let's form a committee just no and within a week governor abbott called the whole thing illegal ordered a review of every state grant going to dfw referred both air referred the airport to the dfw airport and the president was posting about it and the airport folded like a lawn chair wash your feet in a mosque that's what mosques are for an airport is for losing your luggage and paying 20 for a bottled water and i'll say the quiet part out loud this is public infrastructure it belongs to everybody which means it doesn't get remodeled for the religion of islam not here not on us so if you want public foot washing basins move to a muslim country and i'll say the quiet part out loud this we don't have baptisms next to gate d34 we simply just need the plane to leave on time that's really it now the part i actually want you to take home for years we've been told that outrage doesn't work outrage is ugly outrage is a mob outrage is a cult calm

[03:49] down trust the process trust the government let the professionals do their job well the professionals did their job for months apparently and the public evaluated it for a day and one that's not a mob that's a country remembering it has a voice and every institution that's been a decade rolling its eyes at the quote outrage machine just watch the outrage machine doing days what their public comment period never would have they probably wouldn't have told you about it and my favorite part the airport's official reason for canceling not the governor not the public they said the project would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits right the operational benefit would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits right the operational benefit nothing to do with the headlines or the public outrage sure i didn't and i didn't quit waffle house because i'd taken the hash browns as far as i could go yeah it's just a bunch of bs and lies by your government as always so back to atlanta casey thomason and her daughter annie annie's 17.

[04:51] of a local georgia mom named casey and her daughter annie that were told they had to put these atlanta dream t-shirts over their existing xx xy athletics t-shirts cover up our xx xy shirts at this game wait are you serious yes they gave a shirt they gave us t-shirts during overtime and told us we had to leave and this is for the girl or cover our shirts i was flabbergasted it's the first time i've ever experienced anything like that and i just i had no words except like who's offended by a t-shirt at this yeah and who is offended by science who is offended by science cover up or walk out they said and they hand her a replacement shirt an atlanta dream shirt and let me be fair and i can afford to be fair because unlike the wnba i don't have an hr department on this podcast security push silence or else and silence always tells you an institution is scared of its own customers and it's scared of the truth they want you silent credit where it's owed though the wnba league said fans were asked by security to cover up and this should not have happened that's the right answer took a day to say it but it's right and i'll say so out loud the dream statement was even funnier they clarified

[06:21] that this was a wnba security and no dream personnel or involved fever won the game in overtime not one person in that arena will remember the score for but a 17 year old girl is going to remember the night a grown man told her that two letters from a biology textbook were too dangerous for a basketball game you cannot eject someone for something that's in a middle school textbook biology science if you could they'd have to throw out the whole periodic table she'll remember it for 50 years and she'll tell her daughter and her her daughter's daughter, how in the 2020s they tried to silence women and take their rights away.

[07:12] Now moving on to House Democrat Jimmy Gomez, who is officially under investigation for inappropriate sex contact with the staffer. Oh, Jimmy, here we go. Ethics Committee is investigating California Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gomez over allegations of sexual misconduct.

[07:32] Right. So Jimmy is calling it a mistake outside of his marriage. I call it just another weekday in Washington. Right now, the House ethics rules say you can't sleep with your own staff, but if they work for the guy across the hall, that's just networking. That's what the rulebook says. Ruben Gallego allegedly treated Texas Democratic aides like a buffet line while he was in the House. Allegedly, purportedly, maybe, Eric Massa lived in a townhouse with five male staffers before he was in the House. He said he was in the House. He said he was in the House. He resigned for allegedly groping them. And then Tony Gonzalez quit Congress after he banged one of his employees. And she later killed herself in the worst possible way, lighting herself on fire. We have a name for a boss who insists on being your lover. We call that a predator. Congress is currently a protection racket for creeps in suits. The establishment finds a 24 week abortion limit too rigid, but they find a ban on sleeping with the help. Too complicated.

[08:33] This isn't about consensual mistakes. It's about a culture that treats young professionals and women like a perk in the office.

[08:42] I introduced two bills to stop this from happening this year right in its tracks. My resolutions are simple. No sleeping with staff, no living with staff, hands off. And if you can't keep your hands off of the people who pay for your salary, you don't belong in Congress. Washington is supposed to be the seat of democracy. Not a taxpayer funded tender account. That's what that's where we are today. But in closing, an airport that thought nobody was watching an arena that walked over and handed a mother a shirt to cover up and a Congress that wrote its own rules so carefully that a member can't touch his own staff but can help himself to everyone else's. Cover it up. Cover it up. Cover it up. This isn't an argument, not a debate, just a request. And then a threat that, if you, that you make yourself smaller and quieter so nobody in the room has to have a hard afternoon. Here's the thing about that. It only works if you comply.

[09:42] Regular people in Texas didn't comply. And the foot baths are going, going, gone. Casey covered up so her daughter wouldn't miss the last two minutes of the game. Then she told the story and by Monday the league was issuing statements and apologies. And every one of these guys on the hill was counting on the same thing the airport was counting on. That you'd never read the file. Well I read the filing and I wrote a bill. You don't have to win the argument. You just have to refuse to comply. Ephesians 5 says to have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them. Expose them, not tolerate them, not manage them, not give them a raise. So put the shirt on if you have to. If you must. Then go get a giant microphone and use it. I see you're not following me. Hit the follow button now. I'll see you next time.
