0:00 This is Undaunted Life. A man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into
0:23 it. You shall not murder. Keep it as simple today, guys. This exit is 2013. And I think
0:29 Kansans would do well to remember that. So, guys, I just want to thank you so much for
0:33 tuning into today's show. I did want to remind you that we are mainly a listener supported
0:36 ministry. So if you guys like content, like the content that we produce, if you want us
0:40 to produce more things like we've got a lot planned for 2023. The only way we're able
0:43 to do that is because we have guys that have hopped on board and financially supported us.
0:47 We do get some money from advertisement, but the majority of what we get is directly
0:50 from you guys. So we have a donation page on our website, undaunted.life/donate. Again,
0:54 just go to undaunted.life/donate. If you like the content people are creating, make sure
0:59 that you are supporting them. So, guys, I've been out for a little bit. I know you didn't
1:02 notice that because we've still been releasing three episodes a week. But it's been a crazy
1:06 time in my life. And I've talked about that a little bit on the show. Obviously, we had
1:10 CJ's funeral and I talked about that on a previous episode. I also got COVID there in
1:14 the middle of it. It was no big deal. The first day I'd like the chills were crazy. I'm sitting
1:18 outside in 105 degree, whether in Oklahoma, sitting there shivering. But aside from that,
1:22 it was no big deal. I traveled down to Louisiana for the experience on the Unashamed podcast.
1:27 By the time you guys hear this, that episode will have been released. I'll be shooting
1:31 an email out to everybody so that you can see that. So hanging out with the Robertson clan
1:34 down there. And I'll try to, if this episode, if that episode releases before this one,
1:39 I'll make sure it's in the show notes or whatever. But as of right now, I'm recording this on
1:41 Sunday, the seventh, that is not out yet. So I'll make sure I get that to you. But also
1:45 I wouldn't let you guys know I get emails and DMs from time to time. Like, "Hey, Kyle,
1:49 you know, I want to hear you speak live. Like when you're speaking live." And a lot of the
1:51 events I do, they're like private. They're not open to everybody. But I do have an open
1:55 to the public event that I'm doing at my church in Edmond, Oklahoma. So you, if you are in
2:00 or want to be in Edmond, Oklahoma at Faith Bible Church on September the 18th at 6 p.m.
2:06 That's a Sunday. I will be delivering my live talk called how to engage pro-abortion arguments.
2:11 So obviously now with what we're seeing with the Dobbs decision, what we're seeing with
2:15 some of the craziness and misinformation that's being spread around, which is a big portion
2:20 of what we're going to be talking about today. It's very, very important to make sure that
2:23 you guys understand how you can engage a lot of the arguments that are coming from pro-abortion
2:27 people. Okay. So again, Sunday, September the 18th, 6 p.m. It is a free event at Faith
2:32 Bible Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, how to engage pro-abortion arguments. So if you're anywhere
2:36 near here, make sure you come out, make sure you know, we meet and all that would be tons
2:41 of fun. So today in the quick hitter segment, we're going to be discussing a lot of stuff
2:45 because some of it's actually going to be a little bit old news, but I haven't had a
2:48 chance to comment on it yet, obviously, because COVID and funeral and all that kind of stuff.
2:51 But we're going to be talking about these things. Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh
2:54 taking a stand for life. Florida governor Ron DeSantis suspending Florida state attorney
2:58 for not doing their job, which is enforcing the law, the Biden administration declaring
3:02 monkeypox, a public health emergency, Joe Biden getting COVID murder charges against
3:07 the New York City bodega worker being dropped and the death of three giants in the world
3:12 of sports. And as of this morning, my notes said two giants, but there is a third that
3:16 has lost their life to some crazy circumstances. So we'll give them to that. But before we
3:20 get into the meat of what we're talking about today, hey, you guys are about to like that
3:23 transition. We need to talk about the sponsor for today's episode. And that is Casey cattle
3:27 company. So there are a lot of meat delivery subscription services out there, guys. And
3:31 believe me, I've, I've talked with some of them, some of them wanted to be sponsored
3:34 the show and all those different things. But guys, only one of them is US military veteran
3:39 owned, US military veteran operated, and all of their beef chicken and pork products are
3:44 produced here in the good old United States. And that is Casey cattle company. So guys,
3:48 they specialize in Wagyu beef. And you heard me talk about this on the Eddie Penny episodes.
3:51 You know, I had heard a Wagyu beef before, but I never actually experienced it until they
3:55 sent me this care package, which what's a better care package that you can get than
3:58 a box full of frozen meat that you get to eat later. But Wagyu beef is just a breed of
4:02 cattle that's known for its mutations that allows for like 10 times the amount of intramuscular
4:07 fat, which leads to that marbling, which leads to a complete brain explosion whenever you
4:12 eat it, because it is so unbelievably good. Just over the weekend, you know, I was my
4:15 birthday. So thank you. Some of you guys for the birthday wishes, 36 years old, what
4:19 a worthless feeling birthday. But I had a flat iron steak from them. It was just absolutely
4:23 incredible. Cooked it on the cast iron skillet. Fantastic. They sent me a bone and ribeye.
4:27 I've done those. They're brought worse or unbelievable. But guys, they literally sell
4:30 all kinds of stuff that I know you guys use and that you guys consume. And that's Wagyu
4:34 roast, pasture raised chicken, pasture raised Berkshire pork, Wagyu bacon, cheeseburger
4:38 brought worse, which is amazing. And they're world famous wagyu gourmet hot dogs. So Food
4:43 Wine magazine actually called it the best hot dog in the world. And it's even called
4:47 a tube steak because it's like the only hot dog on the planet that actually tastes like
4:49 a steak as well. So I want you guys to go out and try their products are absolutely fantastic.
4:53 You will not be disappointed. So go to kc cattle company.com. That's kc cattle company.com
4:58 use the promo code Kyle to get 15% off your order. Again, that promo code is just my first
5:03 name. So that's Kyle. That's KYLE for 15% off of your first order at kc cattle company.com.
5:11 But the main thing that we need to talk about today is what in the world just happened in
5:14 the state of Kansas last week. Okay, Kansans basically cast their votes for death. So the
5:20 episode title for today is what's the matter with Kansas? So that is actually the title
5:24 of the 2005 book by Thomas Frank. So this book talks about kind of a very unique political
5:29 history of a place like Kansas. And he comes at it from a lot of different perspectives.
5:32 It's basically like wire people voting against their own interests and different things and
5:36 social things and all those types of things. But all that, all that, I guess all those
5:40 ideals and all that history of the state of Kansas was made all the more interesting last
5:44 week because of what happened. And so I'm going to read this from the daily wire voters
5:48 on Tuesday. This was Tuesday the 2nd of August rejected a pro life amendment in Kansas. The
5:52 first test of voter sentiment following the overturning of the abortion case Roe v Wade
5:56 by the Supreme Court, which effectively kicked back abortion restrictions to the states.
6:01 The value them both amendment was defeated by about 18 percentage points blocking the
6:05 state from removing a right to abortion in the state constitution. President Joe Biden,
6:09 co president Joe Biden, who is Catholic, cheered the victory for abortion rights. Quote, this
6:15 vote makes clear what we know. The majority of Americans agree that women should have
6:18 access to abortion and should have the right to make their own healthcare decisions. Unquote,
6:22 he said according to the Associated Press. So Mallory Carroll, she's a spokeswoman for
6:26 Susan B. Anthony pro life America called the loss a huge disappointment and blasted abortion
6:30 advocates for drowning out the truth with lies way more on that here in a second. But back
6:34 to the daily wire article tonight's loss is a huge disappointment for pro life, Kansas
6:38 and Americans nationwide Carol said the abortion lobbies message to voters was rife with lies
6:43 that ultimately drowned out the truth. Because of tonight's results, Kansas could shortly
6:47 become home to unrestricted abortion on demand, even late term abortion without limits paid
6:52 for by taxpayers. The people in their elected legislatures have no recourse to use the tools
6:57 of democracy to enact laws to reflect consensus. The stakes for the pro life movement in the
7:01 upcoming midterm elections could not be higher. And there will be many more factors in play.
7:06 She she added it is critical that pro life candidates go on the offense to expose the
7:09 extremism of Democrats policy goals for nationalized abortion on demand paid for by taxpayers. A
7:15 statement from the group said that pro life amendment would have corrected and over each
7:19 by the Supreme Court, the Kansas Supreme Court that in 2019 found an alleged right to abortion
7:24 in the state's constitution, instruct down a law that passed the state legislature legislature
7:29 to limit painful dismemberment abortions. So we need to talk about the bill a little bit.
7:34 Okay. So the ballot measure, again, as it said there in the article, sought to overturn
7:39 a 2019 state Supreme Court decision in the state of Kansas that said abortion rights
7:43 were protected under the state constitution, which essentially was as ridiculous as people
7:48 making the argument that abortion in the United States was basically found in the constitution
7:53 as well, which was basically the foundation of Roe v. Wade.
7:57 So if the ballot measure passed, okay, it would have paved the way, it wouldn't have
8:01 guaranteed it would have paved the way for Kansas state legislature to pass significant
8:06 abortion bans in the state if they so chose to. Okay. And again, there was no indication
8:10 that they were actually going to do that. And if we look at this realistically, it probably
8:14 would not have happened. Okay, because Kansas again is a very unique state, but currently
8:19 the it is under democratic control. Okay. So the governor's house is controlled by democrat
8:24 in the state of Kansas. And the election in November for the new governor is basically
8:28 a coin flip election as it stands right now, many more months to go. But right now it stands
8:32 at a coin flip. Okay. So let's talk about some random things or some random thoughts
8:36 I had about this whole Kansas situation. So the vote on this amendment wasn't close at
8:40 all. Okay, politically speaking, it may seem like it was close. Oh, only 18 points, but
8:44 that's a lot. So let's break down the exact numbers, 377,415 voted in favor of the amendment.
8:51 Okay. So basically would have allowed for the paving of the way to eradicating the procedure
8:55 of abortion in the state of Kansas. So 377,000 and some change, 542,349 voted against the
9:03 amendment. Okay. That's a wide margin, especially on an amendment like this. Also another random
9:09 thought disinformation campaigns work. They flat out work. And we saw that in large part
9:16 in this particular thing, there was a lot of money that was poured into advertisements
9:20 and all kinds of different marketing employees in the state of Kansas. And there were a bunch
9:24 of lies that were told to Kansas and you know, the lies were like, Hey, you won't be able
9:28 to get treatment for ectopic pregnancies if you don't vote against this, you know, miscarriages
9:33 will be criminalized if you don't vote against this abortions are medically necessary. We've
9:36 got to save the lives of all these women, except for the, you know, soon to be women that are
9:40 in the womb, you know, those types of things. But the disinformation campaign worked in a
9:44 tremendous degree. And there's a lot of lies that have been spread, you know, at that,
9:48 you know, speech, I'm going to be doing at my church in September. I want to be going
9:50 through a lot of that because even people on the pro life side, I've had people message
9:54 me's that are supposedly pro life. They're like, call, you're spreading misinformation
9:57 because, you know, women aren't going to be able to get, you know, treatment for their
10:01 ectopic pregnancies because of this law because of how it's coded in the insurance. And it's
10:04 a flat out lie. It is a flat out lie, and they bought it hook line and sinker. Now another
10:09 random thought is clearly written legislation that is easy to discern your desired vote is
10:16 really, really important. Okay. But that really doesn't come into play in the scenario. Okay.
10:23 And we keep hearing about this law. We keep hearing about how it was awkwardly worded,
10:27 which it was how there were mistakes in the law, which there were there were like typos
10:31 in the legislation, which how in the world does that happen? But that doesn't matter
10:34 because the vote margin in this case was so incredibly wide. And people like, Oh, no,
10:39 the, you know, the misinformation and the confusion could have caused an 18 point, you
10:42 know, swing, which I don't buy that. But the next part of it is that confusion cuts both
10:47 ways. So there were people I am sure in the state of Kansas that wanted to not allow this
10:52 amendment that accidentally voted for it because the legislation was written so funky. And it
10:57 is my understanding as well that this legislation was written well before the Dobbs decision.
11:01 So, you know, who knows, they maybe they just weren't paying attention. They didn't realize
11:04 how big of a deal it was going to be. But it is something that changed mightily. So this
11:08 was an amendment that looked like it was going to pass with flying colors. Dobbs decision
11:13 comes down, which overturns Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey. And then all of
11:16 sudden it shoots to almost 20 points in the other direction. And the last random thought
11:20 here is how people vote solely on the subject of abortion versus the pro life or pro choice
11:27 leanings of their elected officials don't always match up. So maybe it wasn't the most
11:33 effectively worded sentence in the world. But essentially what I mean by that is very rarely
11:37 do voters in any population get to vote on a single thing. Well, it's not that rare to
11:41 be honest, but to vote on a single thing that a single amendment, typically you're voting
11:48 for a person. And that person represents a whole myriad of different ideals and policy
11:54 prescriptions and things that they're going to advocate for. But in this particular instance,
11:58 the voters of Kansas got to look at one thing. And that was whether or not they were going
12:02 to allow for the a a future amendment, which would eradicate the ability for abortions
12:09 to happen in the state of Kansas, right? But what we did see in these other elections at
12:15 the time is it still leaned majority red, like increasingly read in these areas. So what
12:22 it shows is that people are maybe a little bit more moderate on this issue. And we'll
12:26 get to that here in a second. But I do want to talk about several things as to why this
12:30 outcome is so important, which it should be obvious. But you know, we need to elucidate
12:33 those things. First thing is it shows how important it is to vote. I'm sure there are
12:38 there are cans ins that are kicking themselves in the in the took us right now, because they
12:42 thought that this was just going to be a shoe in, you know, we live in a deep red state.
12:46 I go to church. All my friends go to church. Surely this is going to pass. Surely this,
12:50 you know, constitutional amendment is going to be upheld and we're going to be able to
12:54 do what we want to do on the subject of abortion. They stayed home. Now, it would have taken
12:58 a lot of people to think that to sway the vote again, 18 point swing. But you know,
13:02 it always is very, very important to vote. Another very important thing about this outcome
13:06 is the conservatives that have been saying that the abortion issue won't motivate democratic
13:12 voters and the democrat voter base this this fall might have to eat a little bit of crow
13:18 here. So I've gone on record saying that I think people vote with their with their hearts,
13:24 not always with their heads. And I always use that in the context of the state of Texas.
13:27 So you have people that move from California or New York or wherever and they come to the
13:30 state of Texas and you know, they they're escaping all these democrat policies and all
13:34 these left wing liberal policies. But then they get to the state of Texas and then they
13:38 vote for left wing politicians that want to do the exact same things that the politicians
13:42 and the states they left did, which caused them to leave, right? But here we are, abortion
13:48 was on the ballot and it did not go well for conservatives. Unfortunately, and unfortunately
13:53 for the unborn in the state of Kansas are a neighbor to the north here in Oklahoma.
13:57 So again, you know, prominent conservatives have said, hey, no one's going to vote, you
14:02 know, in the fall with abortion on their minds. But ultimately, the majority of the people
14:08 like the overwhelming majority of people that registered to vote in the state of Kansas
14:12 after the Dobbs decision were women, college educated white women to be more specific who
14:17 vote very much so on the left side on the liberal side of anything, right? And so for
14:23 even Christians that are in the state of Kansas, you have to reckon with that as well. You
14:27 have a very, very motivated base that is wanting to get out and make sure that their voice
14:31 is heard on this particular issue. Okay, so that's very, very important for us to remember
14:35 also. It reminds us this outcome that the majority of Americans are moderate on the issue
14:41 of abortion. And that's why you can get most Americans to get on board, you know, with
14:47 a 15 week ban or a 12 week ban or something like that. But as I've said on the show many
14:50 times, most people don't spend more than five seconds thinking about this issue. They literally
14:57 don't spend any time thinking through the arguments. They don't think through the science.
15:00 They don't think through any of the theological underpinnings of any of their arguments or
15:04 the arguments that are being made towards them. And so a lot of people in their ignorance
15:07 can be convinced to have a fairly pro abortion mindset. Okay. And this leads me to the lasting
15:14 on this before we move to the quick hitters. And that's this shows pro-lifers and a should
15:18 show pro-lifers that the fight didn't end with the Dobbs decision. I mean, I definitely
15:24 did. But how many people told you that? So again, Dobbs happened, you know, again, I'm
15:30 all four spike in the football and, and having the celebration cigar and all those different
15:34 things. But then the work really, really starts now because Democrats, this is their
15:39 sacred cow. This is their sacred sacrament. They have to keep it. They have to have baby
15:44 sacrifice as part of their platform. And they will do everything in their power, including
15:48 lying and cheating and stealing to make sure that they can have as much of that as possible.
15:55 You think companies like Planned Parenthood are just going to be like, Oh, well, I guess
15:58 we're just going to have to shut down all our clinics because the majority of our businesses
16:00 abortion anyway. So I guess we'll go do something else. Now they are going to go do something
16:04 else. They're going to be one of the largest, you know, uh, progenitors of the, the trans
16:08 agenda over the next decade. You can pretty much guarantee that. I mean, they've got to
16:11 make money somehow. So they might as well make it off these drugs that chemistry chemically,
16:15 you know, cast rates people, but you know, they got to make money somehow. But again,
16:19 pro-lifers spent a little bit of too much time spike in the football. I again, I'm all
16:24 for a spike in the football. A lot of people in the Christian circles are like, don't spike
16:26 the football. There's a lot of stuff they need to have and blah, blah. Nope, nope. We're
16:29 going to celebrate this. 60 million babies killed over 50 years. And we've gotten rid
16:34 of the law that allowed for that. No, spike the football spike, the biggest football you
16:37 can find as many times as possible. But again, you have to continue advocating. You have
16:43 to continue supporting pro-life organizations. You have to continue to train yourself. Hence
16:48 why I'm doing, you know, how to engage pro-abortion arguments live and how I've talked about that
16:52 here on the show. You have to make sure that you're ready to push back against the starkness
16:56 because it is a darkness that is unlike any other. The murder of the most innocent humans
17:03 on planet earth, there is no more important thing when it comes to pushing back darkness.
17:09 It simply does not exist. If you have any inkling in you of hating bullies or hating,
17:14 you know, cowards or hating people that take advantage of those that are weaker than them,
17:18 you have to take this subject matter incredibly, incredibly seriously. And unfortunately, Kansans,
17:23 you know, I'm not talking about you, this would have happened in the state of Oklahoma as well.
17:26 I'm sure of it. But if you get that much disinformation in the water, it poisons the entire well,
17:32 okay? So we have to keep fighting against it. Struggling with weight loss?

18:21 Michigan, where he explained why he was pro-life. This is his quote here,
18:24 "I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born." He said via Detroit Catholic,
18:29 "I love life. I believe in having a loving care and respect for life and death. My faith in my
18:35 science are what drives these beliefs in me." Quoting from Jeremiah, "Before I formed you
18:40 in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart. I appointed you as a prophet to
18:44 the nations." Okay? So obviously, as you could know, for a public figure to come out and say something
18:50 so egregious as I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born, people absolutely
18:56 went apoplectic on this. They could not imagine how this prominent public person could even
19:01 possibly believe something that they don't believe, that they can believe that we shouldn't murder
19:06 children in the womb. There were obviously calls for him to be fired, for him to be fined.
19:10 You know, people were like taking this as an opportunity to take shots as his performance as a
19:14 coach, which if you're a Michigan or a Jim Harbaugh fan, you can't be too terribly pleased with his
19:19 tenure there. What is it? One win over Ohio State, no big bowl victories, no national championships,
19:24 that kind of thing. So people took this as an opportunity to make him seem small for his
19:28 performance in the Big Ten and everywhere else. But there were the normal ramblings, right,
19:33 from the pro-abortion crowd. You know, it's her body, her choice, and pro-lifers only care about
19:37 the baby before it's born. But the most, probably the dumbest take was from Jamel Hill. So she used
19:43 to work for ESPN, where she just did a bunch of woke stuff and race baiting. And now I'm not
19:47 exactly sure what she's doing, but she's kind of doing the same thing just via Twitter. So this
19:51 was her reaction. This might be a difficult concept for Jim Harbaugh of any anti-choice person, or
19:57 it's she, this was a typo. So I got to read it better. So let me start over because there was a typo
20:01 in there from her tweet. This might be a difficult concept for Jim Harbaugh or any anti-choice person
20:06 to grasp. But if you don't want an abortion, just don't get one, not that hard. And again,
20:12 all the moronic seals were just, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You don't slay queen, slay queen.
20:17 But what if we were to have her do the same thing with slavery as an example?
20:25 Hey, Jamel Hill, if you don't want slavery, just don't own a slave or like Jamel Hill, if you don't
20:34 want murder, just don't murder people and magically murder goes away. Again, she's trying to make this
20:41 idea that, Hey, abortion has nothing to do with you because you're not in the market for it. But
20:46 again, this is somebody that would say, obviously, we shouldn't have slavery, which all of us would
20:50 cosign, but she's also someone that say that that would say we shouldn't let people have firearms.
20:54 We shouldn't let people defend themselves. Like there's a myriad of other issues that she would
20:58 not cosign using that exact same logic. And there was also a really, really super dumb take by
21:02 someone that's supposed to be smart. And this is a guy named Dr. Abdul El Said. So this was via
21:07 Twitter as well. Jim Harbaugh at the right to life dinner. I love life. I believe in having a
21:12 loving care and respect for life and death. My faith and my science are what drives these beliefs
21:17 in me. Jim, you're welcome to your own beliefs, but not your own science or pushing your beliefs on
21:22 others. So I was a little uncomfortable when he said my own science as well. But I think obviously
21:29 what he meant was not my, you know, interpretation of the science, but he was basically looking at it
21:34 as this is what I see when I read the science. Here's what the truth actually is. So again,
21:41 maybe a little bit sloppy use of, you know, my science or that type of thing, because that's
21:45 you're getting into the my truth territory. But the thing I would ask Dr. Abdul El Said is,
21:50 well, then why are you pushing your beliefs on me, Doc? Because his big thing from the tweet is,
21:56 you know, you do not have the ability to push your beliefs on others. But that's exactly what
22:00 this guy is advocating for. And that's exactly what most people that think like this guy are
22:06 advocating for. Hey, don't push your beliefs on me as they push their beliefs down on you.
22:11 They don't have a mirror. They can't possibly see it. So here's my big takeaway on this story.
22:16 More of this, please, more like name the prominent people that are not in politics.
22:24 So the people that are, you know, prominent in everyday life or whatever. So think of athletes
22:28 or, you know, coaches or actors or artists or singers or whatever. How many of them would be
22:35 willing to come out and say something like this? Would we be willing to speak at a right to life
22:40 thing or any of those types of things? We need more people advocating for it. Now,
22:44 if more people don't advocate for it, shouldn't change how we react. Again, the number of people
22:51 that believe a certain thing does not mean that that certain thing is correct. Again,
22:55 the majority of the world used to think that the earth was flat. We even have some some holdovers
22:59 today. But just because the majority of people believe something does not mean it's true.
23:03 So if even if a plurality of people on the planet thought it was okay to murder innocent
23:09 human beings in the womb, would make it okay. And I hope that we can get some way more prominent
23:15 people in an additional, you know, prominent people throughout the years to come to come out and say
23:22 what they actually think on this issue and say, hey, cancellation be damned. I don't care. All
23:27 right. Next quick hitter here, Florida governor Ron DeSantis suspending Florida state attorney for
23:32 not doing their job, which is enforcing the law. So this is according to the blaze. Florida Governor
23:36 Ron DeSantis announced on Thursday, this is last Thursday, that progressive state attorney Andrew
23:41 Warren was suspended for a neglect of duty and allegedly pledging not to uphold the laws of the
23:45 state. We are suspending Soros back 13th circuit state attorney Andrew Warren for neglecting his
23:50 duties as he pledged not to uphold the laws of the state. DeSantis's office said in the statement,
23:55 DeSantis targeted Warren, a Democrat for vowing not to enforce state laws on abortion and child
24:00 sex change operations. DeSantis also noted that Warren promised a policy of presumptive non enforcement.
24:06 DeSantis made the announcement of Warren suspension during a press conference in Tampa on Thursday
24:10 morning. And so when you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law,
24:15 you have violated your duty, you have neglected your duty, and you are displaying a lack of competence
24:20 to be able to perform those duties. And so today we are suspending state attorney Andrew Warren,
24:25 effective immediately, DeSantis stated, the constitutional Florida has vested the veto power
24:30 in the governor, not in state attorneys, DeSantis said, we are not going to allow this pathogen
24:35 that's been around the country of ignoring the law. We are not going to let that get a foothold
24:41 in the state of Florida. So here's the thing with Ron DeSantis. Obviously, if you've listened
24:45 to the show for any length of time, you know, I'm a huge Ron DeSantis fan. And the main reasons
24:49 because this dude just keeps striking all the best chords politically. So whether you're listening
24:55 to this and you're a big DeSantis fan, you're neutral on him, or you don't like him, because
24:59 currently you can still have all those three opinions on a guy like him. Can you name something
25:04 that he has missed on? Like, can you name a policy or some prescription of some kind that he has missed
25:12 on? Because I can't think of one. Every time he pops up on my newsfeed, he's hitting a home run.
25:19 Again, sometimes hitting a grand slam. So this is what it looks like when you have
25:25 a political fighter that's under control. Because he's doing the social, you know, fighting,
25:32 he's doing the culture war fighting, but he's under control. He's not specifically targeting
25:38 individual people. He's not calling people names. He's not just throwing things out to see if they
25:43 stick. He's he's trying to do the things that are within his purview that he's legally able to do
25:49 to fight back against things that are immoral. So, excuse me. So as I was thinking through this,
25:55 I was thinking about one of my favorite MMA fighters to watch, which is a guy named Justin
25:58 Gaechee, 155 pounder in the UFC. Early in this guy's career, and I say early, really until a few
26:03 years ago, the guy was just chaos. So he would go in there and he's going to say, look, someone's
26:08 getting knocked out. It's either going to be me or the guy across from me. I'm going to do
26:11 everything I can to make sure it's the guy across from me. But I'm just going to go in there guns,
26:14 Blaze, and then we'll see what it's going to be like. And he fought out of control. Like,
26:20 he really was out of control a lot of times. And then he got stopped a couple of times,
26:24 you know, sustained some brand damage. But now he's a much, much different fighter.
26:29 He still has all of that crazy amount of violence, but it's under control.
26:32 So early, you know, Justin Gaechee is a lot more like Trump, whereas nowadays, Justin Gaechee
26:39 is a lot more like Ron DeSantis. So my big takeaway here is that in this is kind of getting back to
26:44 the whole point of the story. Because if you don't do your job, you should not have a job.
26:49 So this is true for all of us. My very first job was I was a, you know, a bus boy at Outback
26:54 Steakhouse and a lot in Oklahoma. If I never showed up to work, or if when I got to work,
27:00 I didn't do the job of busing the tables, cleaning the dishes and taking out the garbage,
27:05 I would no longer be a bus boy at Outback Steakhouse. Like, this really isn't that hard to figure out.
27:11 So we really shouldn't be crying tears at all for this Andrew Miller guy, like our Andrew Warren guy.
27:17 We shouldn't be crying tears for him because it's like, you literally signaled your political
27:21 virtue by saying I'm not going to enforce these laws, which is expressly your job.
27:26 But another big takeaway, I guess this could be my big, big takeaway on this story is more DeSantis
27:31 police, more of this guy. Again, I've gone on record. I've said this before. I do not want
27:36 Donald Trump to run for president in 2024. I want him to, you know, I don't want him to just pave
27:41 the way for DeSantis only. I'd love to see, you know, several people come up. So whether that's
27:44 a Nikki Haley or Tim Scott or, you know, you can even go Ted Cruz or Senator Rubio, like there's
27:48 plenty of people that I'd like to see at least, you know, run for president. Donald Trump is one
27:52 that I don't want to do that. And there's still a lot to be discerned as to whether or not Trump
27:58 is going to say that he's going to run. We'll see how that's going to go. I'm almost certain that
28:03 he's going to say that. And if he does, why would someone like DeSantis, you know, hop into the
28:07 mud pit with him? Because shockingly, Trump is still winning every straw poll by a wide margin.
28:13 Republicans want him to represent the Republican ticket in the 2024 general election. But for my
28:18 money, I want a young, smart, controlled fighter like Ron DeSantis. I'm open to having to my mind
28:25 change. But as of right now, that's where I want to go. All right. Next quick hitter here,
28:29 the Biden administration declaring monkeypox a public health emergency. So this is according to
28:33 CNN, the Biden administration on Thursday. This is Thursday of last week declared monkeypox a
28:37 public health emergency with cases on the rise across the United States. The announcement came
28:42 during a briefing with the Department of Health and Human Services. The administration has been
28:45 criticized at times for its handling of the outbreak. And some have called on the government to declare
28:49 a national emergency without delay. Since the first US monkeypox case was identified in mid-May,
28:54 more than 6600 probable or confirmed cases have been detected in the United States.
28:58 Cases have been identified in every state except Montana and Wyoming. And I think I think one of
29:03 those has now been checked off the list. But there you go. So here's the truth about monkeypox.
29:07 So there was a great breakdown by Dr. Human, David Hermadi for the daily wire. And this here
29:13 was some of the facts that he broke down in his article. The first one was this. The monkeypox
29:17 virus is known to spread from one human to another via prolonged skin to skin or other intimate
29:23 contact, right? Otherwise known as penetration sex, right? Whether you're penetrating any of the
29:28 available holes on the human body there. Have I have I passed all the the people that could
29:32 possibly get mad about that? But it's prolonged skin to skin contact. Okay.
29:37 Here's another fact to date. There have been zero monkeypox deaths in the United States.
29:43 And I think from the time that this article came out to the time that I'm recording this,
29:46 I think that is still the case. Zero people have died in the United States from monkeypox.
29:51 And another, another thing from Dr. Human, is this from among the monkeypox cases with the available
29:57 data, 98.8 have been reported in male or transgender male individuals with 97.2 of the infected
30:05 individuals, identifying as gay, lesbian or bisexual. Okay. So that's from Dr. Hamadi.
30:11 Now, what I would say concerning everything else else we know about monkeypox, that number is
30:16 probably higher because there's probably people that are not admitting publicly that they're gay
30:20 or by that have gotten and contracted and spread monkeypox. But the reality of this story is that
30:28 this is not a public health emergency. Monkeypox simply is not a public health emergency. And you
30:34 cannot make me care about it. Okay. I don't want people to needlessly suffer. But if people are
30:39 engaging in behaviors that would lead to this outcome, then I don't feel bad for them. Ultimately,
30:44 because monkeypox is affecting a very, very small and very well identified and defined community.
30:53 And that community is gay men that have a lot of unprotected sex with multiple partners.
30:59 That is who is getting monkeypox. Okay. It's been that way from the get go.
31:04 Now, they're pretending, and I say this, you know, our government overlords are pretending
31:09 that this is a generalized public health emergency, kind of like COVID is,
31:13 because it's, it's something that you can catch just by breathing. But that's not the case with
31:17 monkeypox. Okay. But they're doing this so that they don't have to do what they know that they
31:21 should do, which is to be critical of gay people. So what they should be saying would all,
31:27 what our medical establishment should be saying is, Hey, if you're a man that chooses to have
31:32 unprotected sex with men, you are at risk of contracting monkeypox. If not, carry on.
31:37 And even the CDC, which obviously, you know, you can absolutely and completely guarantee that
31:42 the CDC has your best interest in mind and never gets anything wrong. This was on their website.
31:47 So I'm literally sitting down having a cigar and a whiskey with somebody celebrate my birthday.
31:51 And someone says, they starts reading this and they claim it's from the CDC website.
31:56 And I'm like, I call BS. There's no way that's from the CDC website. This is a meme. Somebody put
32:00 this together and then two people sitting there, found it on the CDC website. So here's what the
32:05 CDC, the Centers for Disease Control here in the United States have put on their website for how
32:10 somebody can avoid getting monkeypox. Okay. Some of this is going to be sexually explicit if you
32:15 got little ears around. But here we go. Mastermate together at a distance without touching each other
32:20 and without touching any rash. Consider having sex with your clothes on or covering where the
32:25 rash was present, reducing as much skin to skin contact as possible. Leather latex gear also
32:30 provides a barrier to skin to skin contact. Just be sure to change or clean clothes and gear between
32:35 partners between partners and after use. And then also, this was another one. There was a whole
32:39 huge list, but I just pulled three of them. Here's this. Here's another one here. Remember to wash
32:43 your hands, fetish gear, sex toys, and any fabrics, bedding towels and clothes after having sex.
32:49 Leave it to the CDC to always have our best interests at heart guys. But guys,
32:54 here's here's the big takeaway on this one. If you're not having but sex with a bunch of random
32:59 dudes, you will not get monkeypox. That's it. I am wiping my hands. I'm washing my hands of this
33:07 entire thing. No one should be talking about monkeypox anymore. Okay. In terms of it being
33:14 a generalized risk to the health of everyday Americans. Okay. Because we keep getting these
33:19 anecdotal stories, right? And every anecdotal story of somebody that has either seen someone
33:25 get monkeypox or has gotten monkeypox themselves. And I'm not kidding about this. Every single one
33:29 that we see starts out with some guys saying, so I was at this festival and I had sex with a
33:33 bunch of random guys in a short period of time dot dot dot. And these are the people that are
33:38 shocked when they come down with the disease that is mainly passed by gay men having anal sex
33:45 and oral sex with one another. It's a shocking and astonishing thing. But again, they're doing
33:51 this and all these public health people are twisting themselves into pretzels so that they
33:56 don't have to moralize. So they don't have to tell gay people, hey, control yourselves.
34:01 Hey, this is specifically a disease that is being passed around because of people having gay sex.
34:09 If you don't want to get this or have any risk of getting this,
34:13 then don't participate in gay sex. Kind of the same thing like, I am terrified of sharks, right?
34:19 As almost every single human being on the planet is. So I'm not going to go for a swim in the middle
34:25 of the ocean. And the thing is, is if I do decide to go for a swim in the middle of the ocean, I have
34:30 to intellectually understand that getting attacked by a shark is possible. It's absolutely possible.
34:36 But it's impossible completely if I never go near a body of water that a shark could potentially
34:42 be in. But again, this we're treating this like it's a moral thing because it is because the larger
34:48 issue is that the homosexual lifestyle is sinful and that God, you know, will give us over to our
34:54 desires and to the consequences therein. But we're, we're trying to moralize and say, Oh, we don't
34:59 need to demonize a group of people and all that. But even if we look at this just from a strictly
35:03 secular point of view, we should tell the people that are most at risk for getting this disease
35:09 and contracting it and spreading it around that they need to stop doing the things that caused that.
35:14 Hey, can you control yourself and your sexual urges for like two or three weeks while we get
35:19 all this figured out while we get the vaccine out to more people? You know, everyone's trying to get
35:22 on to the government for not getting the vaccine together. And you know, they deserve to take a
35:25 few lumps for that. But ultimately, we're not telling people to control their sexual urges
35:30 because that would be us moralizing to a protected group of people. It's nonsense and it's hurting
35:36 people. So next one here next quick hitter, Joe Biden got COVID. Now I know this is super
35:42 duper old news, but in some way it's also new news because doesn't he currently still have COVID
35:47 because he tested positive for COVID like three weeks ago and then he tested negative
35:52 and then he tested positive again. So by the time this hits your ear holes, he may, you know,
35:57 be out in front of people again, which, you know, things have been going pretty good for the Biden
36:00 administration for the last two or three weeks because Biden hasn't been able to be up in front
36:04 of a microphone. But for me personally, I am praying for the president. I want him to recover well.
36:08 He is obviously right in the crosshairs of a virus like COVID-19. I don't want him to be sick.
36:14 I don't want him to have any ill things happening with this. I hope he makes a full recovery. No
36:19 sarcasm. I like that's what I'm praying for. But here's the big takeaway, okay, which, which
36:23 really is a big question. If the vaccines and the boosters don't prevent you from getting or spreading
36:32 COVID, then what exactly do they do? I'll ask it again because it's so important. If the vaccines
36:41 and the boosters don't prevent you from getting or spreading COVID, then what exactly do they do?
36:45 Because Joe Biden has gotten two COVID vaccines and two boosters and yet he still got COVID.
36:55 Now, what people will automatically say, and this is a big deal, you need to really pay attention
37:00 here. People are starting to present the non falsifiable claim that the vaccine and the boosters
37:07 have made Joe Biden's case of COVID more mild. And they say that with you as well. If you're
37:13 vaccinated and boosted and you get COVID, they're going to say, Oh, well, it would have been so much
37:18 worse had you not been, you know, vaccine boosted. If you hear someone say something like that,
37:24 you need to ask them. Why? How do you know that? So for me, I got COVID. So I'm, I was not vaccinated,
37:34 not boosted, but let's say I had been. And someone said, Oh, you know, you had a really mild case of
37:39 COVID, you know, because you're a vaccine boosted, ask them, how do you know that? How is it even
37:44 possible to know that? And the reality is, is it's not possible to know that you would literally have
37:49 to go back in time and not get the vaccine, not get any boosters, and then experience the exact same
37:56 case of COVID at the exact same time. Again, it's non falsifiable. So this is all nonsense.
38:02 Okay. Now, if you decide to get the vaccine in the boosters, great. That's that's your own
38:08 personal health decision. I don't care. As I explained on the show last year or two years ago,
38:12 the decision that my wife and I made is that we're not at an age or a comorbidity place where we
38:19 felt this overwhelming desire to get the vaccine because at the time that we would have been getting
38:24 it. And really at this time, right now, it's an experimental vaccine. We don't know how well it
38:29 works. And we don't know how it's going to how well it's going to continue to work into the future.
38:32 You already have, you know, companies like, I think it was Pfizer saying, yeah, we should
38:36 probably get COVID shots every year. Oh, you think you think we should just give you billions and
38:40 billions of more dollars every single year for something like this? So again, your own personal
38:46 health decisions are your own. But don't let anyone tell you that you should get vaccinated so that
38:51 if you get COVID down the road, which kind of goes against the definition of what a vaccine is because
38:55 it typically prevents you from getting something and having them tell you like, oh, it's going to
38:59 make your case more mild. What you're describing is a therapeutic. And no one's, you know, pitching
39:03 these as a COVID-19 therapeutic. So it's nonsense. Don't fall for it. All right. Next one here,
39:09 this is actually an update. So murder charges against New York City, Bodega worker were being
39:13 dropped. So we talked about this on a previous quick hitter segment. So this is according to Fox
39:17 News. Charges were dropped on July the 19th against a New York City Bodega worker arrested for the
39:21 murder of a man seen on surveillance video, first coming behind the cashier's desk and attacking
39:26 the employee. Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg's office faced harsh criticism for bringing
39:30 the charge against Jose Alba earlier the summer, despite footage suggesting the deadly stabbing
39:35 was justified as self defense. Jennifer Siegel, who's assistant district attorney under Bragg,
39:40 issued a motion on July the 19th to dismiss the second degree murder charge against Alba
39:44 and provided a copy to his attorney, Michelle Grant. Fox News confirmed that a judge dismissed
39:49 the charge against Alba by Tuesday afternoon. This was last Tuesday afternoon. So again,
39:54 we had this guy, those being very, very aggressive. He goes behind the counter, gets in this guy's face.
39:58 The Bodega worker obviously didn't want any type of altercation with this guy. This guy was
40:01 probably 30 years his minor, but then they get into a scuffle. The guy who is being attacked,
40:06 pulled a knife, cut the guy, stabbed the guy. The guy ended up dying. He was initially charged
40:10 with murder. And then people just absolutely let loose. And this is my big takeaway. Public
40:16 outcry does work sometimes. Again, I lament that there are people around the country that
40:23 may be in a similar situation to this, but it doesn't make the headlines. It doesn't go viral.
40:28 So we should try to bring light to most of these dark situations if they even happen in our community,
40:35 because you have to ask, you know, why did this go viral? Was it because it was New York City?
40:39 Probably. But what if it had been an Albany, not a major metropolitan area, not a city that most
40:45 people around the globe know what is something like that happened there? Hopefully public outcry
40:49 would be to the extreme degree that it would, you know, put pressure on these politicians to
40:54 not allow for this. But the ultimate thing is, is there are a lot of people like this DA in the
40:58 state of New York that want the system to fall. These are the people that are advocating for
41:04 getting rid of Cash Bell for letting these people just get out of jail almost immediately.
41:08 And the reality of what we're seeing is crime is going up everywhere. Violent crime is going up
41:15 everywhere. And these criminals, these career criminals are not going to change for the better
41:20 of their local communities, especially when they can get away with doing dirt and having no potential
41:25 consequences. So that's kind of a larger macro issue underneath all of this is what these
41:31 super liberal DAs are doing. But I'm very, very happy for Jose Alba that he's no longer being
41:35 charged with murder in this case. All right, the last quick hitter we're going to hit here is the
41:39 death of three giants in the world of sports. So the first one was Bill Russell. So he died on
41:43 July the 31st at the age of 88. So just to give you a little bit of Bill Russell's resume. So he's
41:48 a professional basketball player from back in the day. This guy was just a winner. And he was a
41:53 winner in every single way you could be a winner. He won two high school state championships in
41:57 California. He won two NCAA championships at the University of San Francisco. He was an Olympic
42:02 champion in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, which he was a team captain for that team. He's an 11
42:08 time NBA champion. So nine of those were when he was just a player in two of those were when he
42:13 was a player head coach, 11 NBA championships. And then he's a five time NBA MVP, 12 time all star
42:21 and he's got a bunch of other accolades. So, you know, he died, you know, this was a guy he led a
42:25 very, very long life. You don't see a lot of these old basketball players living into their late 80s.
42:28 So he passed away. So rest in peace to Bill Russell. Then we have the great Vince Scully.
42:33 So he desired he died on August the second at the age of 94. So here's his resume. If you guys
42:38 aren't familiar with Vince Scully, he's the longest tenured broadcaster with a single team
42:42 in pro sports history. And that was with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. He was a
42:46 broadcaster for the Dodgers for 67 years, 67 years. That's how long he worked at the job. That's not
42:56 how old he was when he left for 67 years. He was a broadcaster for the Dodgers. And he has been
43:03 responsible for some of the most famous calls, not just in the history of baseball, but just in
43:07 the history of sports in general. So here's some of those. He's called three perfect games. So Don
43:11 Larson's perfect game in the 2000 or the 1956 World Series. Sandy Kofax is perfect game in 1965.
43:18 And Dennis Martinez is in 1991. And he also called 20 no hitters. He called Johnny Padres
43:24 shut out of the Yankees in game seven in the 1955 World Series, which gave the Dodgers their first
43:28 World Championship. The Dodgers first game in Los Angeles at the Coliseum on April the 18th of 1958.
43:34 The Dodgers has returned to the Coliseum on March the 29th 2008 in front of a world record breaking
43:39 crowd of 115,300 people. The Dodgers World Championship seasons in Los Angeles in 1959,
43:45 1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988. Hank Aaron, 715th career home run that broke Babe Ruth's Major League record
43:54 at Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium in April the 8th of 1974. He also called the catch. This is in
43:59 the NFL between Joe Montana and Dwight Clark during the 1981 NFC Championship game between
44:04 the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, the dramatic 10th inning of game six in the 1986
44:09 World Series where Bill Buckner's air allowed the Mets to force a game seven. And you know,
44:13 the Mets went on to beat the Boston Red Sox in that series. Then yet Kirk Gibson's legendary
44:18 home run in the 1988 World Series off Dennis Eckersley. And then also Joe Carter's World Series
44:23 winning walkoff home run for the Blue Jays in 1993. And this guy was just famous because a lot
44:29 of these boosts. Now you have, you know, your play by play commentator and then you have your
44:33 color commentator, but he did both. And he did it masterfully. I remember whenever I worked in
44:37 Major League Baseball back in 2012, and we had to watch all the games, we would put it on
44:42 the commentary for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where we could hear the audio, because he would just
44:46 say these stories. He was famous for stories. He knew so many things about the players. He knew
44:51 about their families. And I mean, this guy, whether the game lasted three hours or went into mega
44:55 extra innings for five or six hours, he constantly kept you, you know, up to date and he kept you
45:00 engaged in the game. He's literally the greatest sports broadcaster of all time.
45:05 But then just today, some recording this on Sunday, the seventh Leandro Lowe passed away.
45:10 So if you don't know that name, he is legitimately one of the greatest jujitsu fighters of all time.
45:16 He is the eight time IBJ JF black belt world champion. So IBJ JF stands for International
45:21 Brazilian Jujitsu Federation. It basically doesn't get any higher than that in the world of Guijiu
45:26 Jitsu. And he's got so many other titles that's not even worth mentioning. But those are his
45:29 eight time world champion and with IBJ JF. But he also has wins over all the other greats you can
45:34 think of. So Gordon Ryan, Andre Galvel, Gilbert Burns, Felipe Peina, and many, many others. He's
45:39 legitimately one of the greatest grapplers of all time. But this is according to MMA fighting.com.
45:43 Leandro Lowe was declared brain dead after getting shot in the head during a concert in Sao Paulo,
45:49 Brazil early Sunday morning. Lowe was 33 years old. In the police report, it is stated witnesses said
45:55 Velozo, which is the guy that shot him, grabbed a bottle from Lowe's table, which prompted the
46:01 jujitsu fighter to take him down and hold him. They were separated. And then Velozo got back to his
46:06 feet, pulled a gun and shot at Lowe's forehead. So apparently he was struck in the forehead twice.
46:11 I don't know if this guy's been arrested yet. I'm sure he will be. But talk about senseless.
46:19 I mean, all of it was senseless. I mean, again, when you see these things happen, these happen
46:25 at nightclubs and all that. And when skies are going out, having a good time, and then they get
46:29 pulled into these, you know, confrontations, and sometimes they turn incredibly violent,
46:34 sometimes even deadly. I mean, just think about it. If the police report is true, if the witness
46:39 is true, you know, this guy's, you know, acting fully goes up to Leandro Lowe's table and takes
46:42 a bottle liquor off of it. And as opposed to just letting that slide, he takes the guy down,
46:46 holds in their uses his world class grappling to basically embarrass the guy. And then once he gets
46:51 up, the guy pulls gun and shoots him. Now I'm by no means saying that this is Leandro Lowe's fault.
46:56 It's the other guy's fault. And you know, basically, for the most part, if not entirely.
47:00 But God, how senseless was that? The whole situation, 33 years old, legitimately at the tippy top
47:08 pinnacle of his sport in the entire world of grappling and in jujitsu. And he's dead now.
47:15 So that should be a lesson to most of you guys out there, especially those of you that train
47:19 is a lot of times in your situation, hands don't need to be put on somebody.
47:23 Like that's one thing, you know, the more I learn about people, the more I talk to people that are,
47:27 you know, in tactical communities or in law enforcement communities, it's like you literally
47:31 never know who you're dealing with. Again, I say this all the time. The most dangerous
47:34 dudes at my gym, some of these brown belts and black belts, if you just saw them on the street
47:38 or saw them, you know, in the line at the grocery store, you would never think that that person could
47:43 potentially strangle you to death in less than five seconds. You would never have any idea.
47:47 You never know if someone's armed. And so you go poking your finger in somebody's chest or
47:53 somebody's, you know, bumping into you. And you don't just take that as an opportunity to leave
47:56 the situation entirely. It could cost you your life. So rest in peace to all three of those guys,
48:02 Leandro Lo, Vin Scully, and Bill Russell. But the big takeaway here, I guess, for these
48:08 stories and for these guys is we should all take time to appreciate the greats while they're alive.
48:13 But all roads eventually come to an end. Again, Vin Scully, 94 years old, Bill Russell, 88 years
48:19 old, Leandro Lo, 33 years old. But our numbers coming guys, like our time will come. No matter
48:26 how great or how basic our life is, we're all going to die. Which is a great reminder for all of
48:33 us that the gospel's either real or it's not. We are either depraved sinners that have no way
48:39 to be reconciled to the father, except for the fact that the father gave his son to sacrifice
48:45 and make his blood the propitiation for our sin so that we would have a pathway to the father.
48:50 And that's either true or it's not. And if it's true, you should focus your entire life
48:57 around that fact. And if it's not, go figure something else out. Hook your ponytail to a tree,
49:02 you know, pretend Buddha was, you know, some sort of major deity or something like that,
49:06 you know, just go do something else. But you got to reckon with whether or not the gospel was true.
49:10 Okay. So we're going to end this part of the segment before I close this out with a clip from
49:16 Vin Scully during his final sign off of his career. And so this was a few years ago. This was after
49:21 the Dodgers played the rival Giants. And then he had this to say, so we'll go to the clip and
49:25 then we'll come back here. You know, friends, so many people have wished me congratulations
49:31 on a 67 year career in baseball and they wished me a wonderful retirement with my family. And now
49:38 all I can do is tell you what I wish for you. May God give you for every storm or rainbow
49:46 for every tear or smile, for every care, a promise, and a blessing in each trial. For every problem,
49:54 life seems a faithful friend to share for every sigh, a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.
