What
10:43
side do you fall on that? I am not a medical doctor, so I haven't gotten deeply involved in the issue of whether or not there are times that are appropriate medically for somebody to have surgery to address issues that are biologically created in nature.
11:00
Because there are some people who are born with cancer.
11:04
gender identity differences because they have parts of their body that are not working correctly because they have both parts or they have only one part or it's not completely developed or it's an underdeveloped.
11:17
And so there's sometimes genetic differences between people that medically things need to happen, but that really should be a decision that doctors make with parents to address a child's actual medical needs.
11:29
I would never say we should force any child to have a medical procedure that it's unnecessary.
11:34
You know, I wouldn't say it's abuse, but I would say that if a doctor isn't medically recommending something, we shouldn't be authorizing it.

How do we do this the right way?
19:29
Yeah.
19:30
So, so for years, oh, man, George is saying these little remarks or whatever, and we're thinking that he's, he's, you know, doesn't like us.
19:39
He'd look at me and my brother and say, "Uh, which one of y'all is the one that can't work?"
24:18
Okay
24:18
... companies.
24:19
But there's a g- there's a couple other ones that we're heels.
24:21
It's really whatever they want, the c- the bookers or promoters.
24:24
Um, but we're just like George in many ways, man.
0:00
Hey, everybody.
0:01
I'm Dave Dawson, alcoholic.
0:03
Thanks, Jeannie, for that introduction.
0:04
You set the bar high.
0:07
I appreciate there's there's some of my some of my good friends on here and good to see.
0:11
Good to see you all on here.
1:30
What on earth happened that it was necessary to close municipal offices to walk in traffic? That seems so drastic.
1:38
So the municipal office has never really been updated or upgraded to what would be considered appropriate security measures for 2026.
1:52
In fact, many years ago, it probably should have been updated so that there was a bit of a protection barrier for staff that work at the municipal office.
2:01
Staff have certainly encountered issues this disruption type behavior over the years that has been more or less unwelcomed.
2:14
So what ended up happening, if I was to back up, there's been a significant amount of misinformation, malinformation, et cetera, on social media.
2:27
And while we absolutely respect the right for people to have their freedom of expression or their freedom of speech, there comes a point where it becomes weaponized.
2:40
And some people in society today across the globe are certainly getting a lot better at it.

Is there an emerging pattern here? You've talked about it in terms of months, but this is years.
