ones but this was the week that the trumpet ministration told the supreme court that americans should be allowed to be discriminated against based on their our sexual orientations that gay people should be allowed to be discriminated against but out congressman mark to cano from california has come out this week for impeaching or starting the impeachment inquiry and against trump yeah on america yuck it up over the idea of prince george little prince george six years old in england taking ballet lessons and the dance community responded in style and indignation student and a group of young men in california are being investigated for a sole teenage transwoman at a hotel at a motel in better news in france a soccer game was stopped due to very good and we want to let our free speech viewers know that free speech t v will be in pledge mode again from september th through twenty seven during that time the show will premiere this show will premiere fridays at eight pm eastern  language on israel and his being the chosen one that resonates with his religious right base he ordered the united states companies to get out of china told jews their disloyal if they vote democratic tried to buy green land it wouldn't deal with the amazon fires we have a skyrocketing deficit and the question he's ordering government employees to build his wall between here and mexico and telling them he'll pardon because they're going to have to build it illegally i'm not done he ended medical preferred option for migrants who are in the web series health conditions in other words you're in the hospital but you're a migrant get out of the country get out of the hospital he says he's selling hotel space to attorney general is and these people are targeting journalists they have come after us yet but it's not just journalists that they're going after you might want to say this person has a certain prejudice he's going after their families as well i think given the extent to which trump lives on a daily basis and then accuses the mass media i think news that we should start making up stuff about him but when he does the thing i most hope is true is what lawrence sign and he did cosigners and they were russian oligarchs with close ties to putin and all you've seen for the last three years before it was president is fealty to putin and this is what it's about and if that's not a breach of all people don't want to get upset about that well we know that he has gone to russian oligarchs for money for all these deals and delay to bank so it would make sense that they would sign off on his story to bank loans and this is all about his bankruptcies in atlantic city and his various shady deals all over the place that he couldn't get money for because he was such a bad businessman and the only place that would loan of money was going to a bank with russian cosigners or the russians themselves as well there's nothing illegal about it i don't think but he knows it looks bad scarab i'm so terrible that we'll even before that the out get a representative mark house a member from california finally came out for impeachment now this is significant i'm going to make his video statement available in our e mail so sign up for our e mail it gave us a t v dot org and we will and you'll get the link to that it's a long accuse of being a big lefty crazy but i think those who got it all together yes but he took his time and he has now very thoughtfully in a thirteen minute statement on video explaining why he thinks we should be moving towards an impeachment inquiry and again look at the latest outrageous judicial nominees to the court of appeals which is just and and this is in new york  connecticut and vermont one step down from the supreme court steve for the nd circuit this guy has written that societies flourish when they are not ethnically diverse he attacked the human rights campaign for spending more attention on matthew shepard and not on some gay child molester who you know killed some kid he criticized colleges for gay only dormitories he denounced take back the night marches against sexual violence and defense here's the kicker he defended berlusconi the crazy italy prime minister remey or whatever he was president for saying that western civilization was superior to islamic societies something that berlusconi apologized for and that's a rarity athletes who protested trump at the pan am games the fencer and the hammer thrower got they were going to threaten by the u s olympic committee for having violated their rules against any political statements but in fact in the end they were given a sentence of probation and a limited sentence and they will be eligible for the two thousand and twenty olympics in tokyo so it really turns out to be just a been warned about the olympics but what can they do to that when they do that of course is instead to get attention a political statement as well and i've always maintained that neil lane at the national anthem or anything like get in trouble for anything so you might as well go all the way we told you last week the moon i think the vice chair of the board who are member of the board of the log cabin republican club has resigned in protest of their  endorsing trump for re election want to now the executive director of the organization woman named jerry and henry has resigned her job this is not  board member this is the paid leader of the organization and she got a big fight with the board about it too and not entirely but mostly it's the few women of the log cabin club who are resigning and the how it's led by a racist you know you're behind this thing and it's not just trump it's the whole congress i mean it's you know well we don't approve of everything the democratic party known as either said there's very little excuse for being a democrat for being a republican these days what of wordsmith there are but here is the main reason to turn for these log cabin nights to resign after their group indorse trump and that is what the department of justice did last week in submitting another brief to the supreme court on the cases they're about to hear on whether gender identity and sexual orientation are included in the definition of sex in the laws against sex discrimination in the trump people said just just read the dictionary definition of sex in one thousand nine hundred and sixty four and it just says biological sex which i don't think that's all it says but you know we've we've been over this with a transgender case we're obviously saying if and judges have said in many circuits if you discriminate against someone because they're gay or essentially it's going against them because of their choice of the gender of the sartor yes and that and that's all it is and so the two cases in the gay cases are the czar to case which is the the guy who worked for the you know parachute company you know you jump out of the plane altitude county board of commissioners who was subjected to anti gay slurs that he fought he was far when his employer found out he was on a gay softball team yes you know so with with other friends throw the book at him so he lost his case in the broad precedents i mean a lot of this the the e e o c has said that sex and then they cover transgender earlier but they said sexual orientation discrimination is sex discrimination they've been saying that since tw stereotypes you know one of the things that was pointed out it's still racial discrimination to go against a white person if you're discriminated against him or her because they go out with someone of the of another race and reports the relationship they don't have to be that themselves so anyway well this is so the administration is very deliberately taking a dumbed down position on these cases and refusing to understand the modern understanding of what constitutes sex discrimination and they're just putting forth the old arguments about the law says sex discrimination doesn't say sexual orientation discrimination it doesn't say gender identity  wanted to do with they've got a bill they can pass on they're not built it well that's true that is true but we need you know we were still pushing for the bill because there have been very decisions about this by federal judges and we want to codify it but and of course the courts to intelligently understand and parse questions of discrimination because we don't want to rely on majority rule and that's why much as we want to pass the equality act and realize that we needed to provide a firm base for our interpretations but we do know we can't rely on a congress that is controlled in the senate by the republicans and the very bigoted republicans and a president who would veto it even if we passed it through their head and mitch mcconnell who got all those judges through by the supreme court by getting rid of the filibuster once to preserve the can rely on here's a quote moral or religious beliefs about sexual marital infidelity relationships and that is where all this is going now and it was the phrase you know out of his praise of the u s catholic bishops and they're beating they're thrilled about this and they're thrilled about the department of labor saying that contractors can discriminate based on their religious beliefs even if they're not a religious organization last but i had about them at all find it eventually and that's why i want to you know bring in this whole story story well actually we should mention that taylor swift called for the passage of the quality act at the video music awards not your it's the video music awards on m t v every year in the car which is a i should go to the music channels or something but so i'm watching the video music awards and st of all her song you need to calm down which was the big winner open the show that was the they always open the a big incredible production number and this year it was taylor swift doing you need to calm down and let's not forget that taylor swift was the object of some contempt not that many years ago when the music industry and  great job of it and now she's getting up there and singing this song which specifically talks about gay people equal rights and they're sure they're flashing big signs that say equality act and that was all part of the production too it was the certainly the gayest m t v v m a's i've seen taylor swift has gotten on this campaign petition which she pushes through her song half a one million signatures yeah but then she gets up and she says you know how the white house is supposed to respond if you get one hundred thousand dollars or botch it on the wrong website you have to do that on the white house website or that was the  but but she has gotten five hundred thousand signatures and i didn't check today i'm sure it's up but she gave it in her acceptance speech she also talked about the equality act and the need for it and urged people to sign on a hall who is now famous gay performer started on american idol busy now has big you tube fame and has appeared on broadway and kinky boots and has done a lot of other stuff  so she she surrounded herself with our community she has been pushing things she's gotten involved in campaigns in kentucky where she thought of running for office  yes exactly and she has apologized for not being more active in two thousand and sixteen again strong and she said that was a mistake and she will be extremely active between now and the tw can't be sorry that he came out because he won for song of the year for old town road the remakes he's newly out and he thanked almighty god we shared this with billy ray charles cyrus billy ray all town road which is a shame by the way the white house did respond to taylor swift statements and this is what i was looking for oh they say that they're against the equality act because it is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscience rights well it is exactly what we were just talking about out of that conscience rights my god you know well that's elevating the saying we're not covered by sex discrimination it is all about sex stereotyping by the way that case will be heard by the supreme court october th will probably not get up ruling until june of next year that's the way they usually do it and i think it's time for us to talk about david koch and the he's from kansas from a kansas family they go i own family that probably half the products you buy are made by koch industries these days and he was a big libertarian and he read for vice president once on a platform of a limited you social security and medicare and all regulations and he's been very successful what he's been most successful in doing why sleep for him from his point of view is buying up legislatures around the country legislatures he's the one behind the whole two thousand and ten thing while obama was president by the state legislatures get them to draw the congressional lines why do you think we had a republican congress for so long he's the one who created alec the american legislative exchange council he has given so much money to all these right wing organizations and he really has bought the country and i'm not sure people understand how this billionaires shouldn't be billionaires when you leave rich people with all this money they have a lot of extra money and what they spend it on is buying your government and you know if you have progressive taxation as we used to in this country until the ronald reagan era you then make plenty they could live very well they can eat all they want and travel all over the world but more money at the lower levels more money for infrastructure et he david koch founded the campaign organizations americans for prosperity alec which rain campaigns to  fight state legislation to fund transportation projects mounted ad campaigns and public forums to defeat transit and why he's driving an organized phone banks to convince citizens that public transit was a sorry well i mean it was a waste of taxpayers money a public transit in the anti gay candidates and in the family there were four brothers and he was closest to charles and they had a huge battle with their brother frederick you can put his picture up there and they threatened to expose them as gay to their father and frederick is in his eighty's now and single and said to be gay by everybody who knows them although he denies it and i but i don't usually quote bill maher about about anybody but he said bill maher said condolences poured in from the politicians that he own and now the condolences talked a lot about what a great guy david koch was for funding a lot of cultural institutions i was at the say and this is more pink washing this is him covering up his misdeeds by giving these cultural donations and then spending a one hundred times as much to destroy our way of life in this country  you main yeah all right so yes all right now can we talk about sex stereotypes sharon said of the story of the week it really caught fire so the pop correspondent on good morning america lara spencer was on and she started off we can't show you the stephanopoulos sure you know and it was it was it was hard ball and it and of course the dancers sitting at home watching this who have gone through the bullying over this responded no we have not travis wall who does  so you think you can dance responded to her home what she called her homophobic bullying in this video dealer spencer and good morning america yesterday you made comments while talking about prince george wanting to take a ballet class and laughing that he loves it and i found these comments to be very upsetting not only did you inspire your audience and colleagues to participate in the laughter you have now added fuel to the fire to a massive problem in this country which is bullying as a dancer myself i was bullied all the time growing up and i'm thankful that i use that as motivation to be successful but that's not the case for every child i'm not sure if you know ballet teaches you especially if you pronounce it already but that leads you to integrity teach you discipline teach respect and it teaches you bravery and if there are any boys out there that want to dance and want to pick up a dance class do it boys dance to shut up that laughter and you can be successful if you work really hard so largest giving you this the next time you want to laugh at a child for taking a dance class or laugh at them at all look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you want to be a bully today she did have travis and with robert for a while st she issued a very pro forma apology  said and they accepted her apology but i would have said well what did you mean yeah why are you doing it that way now you know and just say you just say it was it was horrible it was wrong well she did eventually she said i screwed up i did the apology segment and everything and they didn't show that people so there were they mentioned it there were three hundred dollars dancers led by fairchild and travis but boys and girls men and women three hundred grand a dance class right it was very moving to watch it and we actually have a few seconds of video of it that we can show as well and we can talk over this i mean you know it was it was just very moving to watch it it was such a creative i don't know thing for mike so it was such a creative demonstration and professional dancer  came and took the class and said that they found it very inspiring and that it wasn't easy and they were happy to be there i love creative actions like this we have to be more creative in our actions you know we show up with signs a lot of the time and we say what w what we're against but when you do things like this it really makes people think about the whole thing i know this was a tremendous learning experience for people because what kids what the things these men these men talked about what they went through  lara spencer and travis you know now somebody reminded me that you know george stephanopoulos was the host of the show when he had you when mcgregor on when they were with talking about i love you philip morris they put up a thing on the screen of him about it he says and see what's funny about that why are you doing this good you know so you've got to take these people on and not go along with their bigotry and you'll be happy to know that the season finale of dance moms was built around the kids going to see a performance of the problem and loving it and getting all involved with that well of course a lot of the stuff about dance and everything brought up ronald reagan and ron jr when he wanted to ballet the president well he wasn't president that was just desperate about the fact that his son might be gay and he actually had a press conference and he said no we've checked he's all man that's what he said i mean it's of course but he was horrified about the fact that it is some might be good well as long as we're in the dance portion of our program dancing with the stars has signed up sean spicer for its upcoming season horrifying it is horrifying and everybody's horrif valuable university property to a twenty three year old alumni of the school trainer now thirty one benjamin crosswhite let's put up that other picture of benjamin when they're not having sex and they're  them so we could get a two million dollars loan he gives them the property from the school and all of this is malfeasance on the part of the university president and he in the he and the wife use him as their trainer just helping out  lot and he flew him on his private plane down to miami only had to accompany me because i was having a doctor's appointment and i needed him to explain to the doctor jerry away falwell jr goes from virginia to miami every year for a mandated check up that the school requires him to have for their insurance co him back in miami in miami because it's more fun any me tell these guys oh what i forgot to mention the the  the government has left the federal election commission go out of business they don't have a chance they want to point to anybody mitch mcconnell doesn't even support campaign finance so he doesn't want to fund that and populated and then there's a little dispute in our own but some have rescinded what counts the st and the nd well if you're going to give them all the time in the world i would think you would give people a chance to rescind and they didn't used to have deadlines and sometimes an amendment would be they didn't and they would like kick around for like minnesota at the th circuit court of appeals by a two to one vote says that a lower court must give a christian couple who do wedding videos the chance to defend their they're left with st amendment grounds yes free speech or religious yeah that is in there too so they haven't won yet but the court of appeals two to one says they have the right to make their case to a lower court  for forty years you know what i would say his main contribution to the movement was bringing trying to bring brooklyn to around because you know we're trying to pass the gay rights bill it was relatively easy to get manhattan conk council members to do it but it was tough in the boroughs and he kind of headed up a lot of the stuff in brooklyn he was the president of the land independent democrats and brought those they needed personal relationships with people in their districts and that's what they built and that's what got the bill passed in  one of those crate local activists who is just who just does the work on a daily basis not an activist who's out in the street getting arrested necessarily who did it to st patrick's day put it as the really his daily commitment was to doing the hard work of going politician by politician he was a democratic district leader so he was an insider and he of course his main cause was reforming democratic politics in brooklyn not totally successful in that i mean it's very corrupt and that these days well now a i o c is doing it in queens in the park for her yeah speaking of new york we're going to try to german american groups go and the stupid pretty was gay i'm self course i was interested to note that in a way to sort of rural area of tennessee coffee county lambda legal defense has filed a complaint against the local district attorney craig northcott he refuses to bring domestic violence charges in cases involving same sex couples he thinks clerks should be allowed  disbarred or thrown out of being d a and they're pursuing this legally and officially now i have to say i hadn't really focused on the kentucky form euro it's been around for like a one hundred years now and it's knowing about agriculture but they take a lot of stands on social issues they do and they're mostly horrible so that was a good demonstration there by you know down there veritas the fairness  that and all this talk about classifying domestic groups as terrorist groups oh yeah we of course would like the white supremacist to good declared terrorists but they're going to want to declare us the terrorists and it's going to be it's going to be a federal crime to belong to one of our groups how do you think fascism works it's happening well it works fine but the line and stealing and cheating and doing whatever they want to do and just running roughshod over anything  be legal or fair staying in kentucky kim davis did what she wanted to do and denied licenses to same sex couples that a federal appeals court up held the ruling him but you got to pay two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in legal fees to four couples that thousand dollars or to finance his beach house and is dates with men they met these guys on line day out a great time with them now being charged with felony theft he met them on a she complained and wanted to take off her pride day which she had told them beforehand she was going to do so that's an ugly little citizen man california and so we send we obispo san luis was charged and misdemeanor battery he released terrible and in l a a bunch of gay entranced people or attacked by a straight couple in las pearl us bar and restaurant and and the place throughout everybody but they threw out the straight couple very politely would you please lee and they grabbed the gay entranced people and threw them out they were the victims in new york in getty's new york two men were accosted by this is coming out of the new york state fair two men accosted were constant by a man screaming anti gay obscenity as they were leaving her the teacher replied i will not the school apologized to the young trans woman and agreed to train the teacher stay with this story this is an indiana  gay teen was beaten at alexandria monroe high school it was attacked by a group of book boys who videotaped it to students held them down while the other one punched him he said this came after years of verbal abuse he said i've gotten so used to it over the years that it doesn't faze me much school officials and police are investigating the kid returned to school he says i just tell myself to forget what happened and i try to act like it never happened i'm not ok but i will be well it's such a sad sad stories such a sad story terrible come on stop it in houston texas that we've been telling you about the murder of a trans woman tracy single they have now arrested her boyfriend and charged him with the murder in indianapolis we told you about you know the fight of the catholics catholic schools the catholic school wars one of the schools you know did did kept a gay employee and they were sort of barred from calling themselves catholic and they're being barred from any sporting event that calls itself catholic now well they still tend to fight against some of the individual schools and it's not a catholic event i don't people have better things to do with their time in atlanta a young lesbian activists and a commit a lot of violence with three people in the that they pushed into the apartment but the other survived and the there was one guy at least who was arrested and police don't think that it was a hate crime but we don't know  now we do know and in new york city there's an event coming to carnegie hall on october th that we might want to show up for the polish that community of america is sponsoring a concert at the polish because that is an extremely homophobic anti semitic newspaper in poland and they have this society in new york city i don't know why but they are sponsoring this concert and so tempers are a little enraged by their ability to access carnegie hall and i've told you for the last two years about the ables today and you know case the bullied gay teen who took out a knife and to defend himself and it up killing one kid and slashing the other got convicted of manslaughter and assault so there's a campaign appealing to the judge to give him youthful offender status he was eighteen at the time he hasn't had no criminal record so in our e mail i will tell you how to do that petition if you want to help with that we've been anticipating the straight pride parade at my desk california it was denied a park permit but they were allowed to gather on the city square twelve people approximately from the straight pride group which actually is a white pride group showed up but about two hundred protesters who opposed them from our side showed up to surround planning a freedom march on september th to encourage others to try it to kill off their homosexuality right there and all and oh right near the poles and they say that they're trying to change the trip to teach the church turret scuse me teach the churches not to judge the l g b d community well i'd this sounds pretty genocidal to me certainly so and a tiny bit of semi good news the minor league baseball team the staten island yankees in new york have an affiliation with chick fil a as one of their sponsors the gay community and staten island objected and so they immediately dropped their affiliation with chick fil a and you should have a free sandwich when somebody hit a home run or  divorce case going down with astronauts and charges of misusing computer access from space it's mind blowing the new york times did like a full page story on it over the weekend my favorite story of the week is that in a big soccer game they call it football in france it was temporarily halted by the referee because there was so much anti gay chanting coming from the stands and the the chanting so the game could go on all right on the other hand in turkey the government has cancelled the rd edition of the queer olympics p i x i guess that's how they get out of way with using binary member parliament and here's why we like them that super pissant yeah something like that scuse me them not he are those seven million people much but she's you know they they said you have to watch your programme yes well me too and well we have to watch the lesbian prime minister of serbia put up but i can read it when alternative seven nation in vitro or other things now that the community there isn't enough or over this and is is trying to get that overturned ever since taiwan legalized same sex marriage the press in mainland china has been having a field day holding the chinese government to account on issues like this so they asked the parliament spokesman about what they thought about taiwan legalizing same sex marriage and would china be doing that any time soon in the parliament spokesman said china will keep men and woman only marriage but here's my question a story from russia siberia  owner and people all over the world engage in the cognitive dissonance of say this someone who is not discriminatory well i was that the question how back then i was going to tell you why he got fined because i was kind of shocked that he got fined yet i mean he said he was protecting his children that he makes natural food yeah everything on natural is a good debate and i think the russian attitude is you're not allowed to talk about this we don't want this issue talked about or  say yeah maintains he is the best thing is ever happened to the l g b t could mean i don't a racist bone in my body yeah but progress in germany we told you about this catholic bishop before he sort of you know retired says we've got to change our attitude on sexual morality to embrace more things come on let's grow up ok and in india the trans bill that was passed by the lower house it was called regressive by activists and they've been calling it regressive ever since it was lose i do not know let's talk about entertainment news as you saw fly called make believe this is by best wall and there's the three the st part is a bunch of kids in the attic for kids there's three of them the ones who speak and what i loved about it is they talk like real kids they acted like real kids they are real kids it's not like to kill a mockingbird with them played by thirty five year old you know she let the kids do their thing and they were and you know and but they were really nasty to each other think the play is sort of about the absence there up in the attic and you never see the adults in the st part i had to give anything away and this sort of the withdrawal of not having love being loved and then they come back in the  nd part of the play without an intermission played by by the selves as adults the adults come in and it's i thought i found it very moving and you know they're not like sitcom kids it was just good it's running atlanta friends see it in try out there are a couple of years ago and liked it yeah learned us a right we love our atlanta friends yes we love you all every last one of you so you know we've been did we've been talking here for an hour and we hope when we step outside the studio that you know like a nuclear weapon isn't going off or something it's just been it's just been exhausting this to deal with the who slowly i call me crazy i find it a little exhilarating to think
