00:01:01.640 I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:10.640 So much to get to today.
00:01:12.600 I did my best to avoid talking about this giant man
00:01:17.920 who went into a ladies Brazilian wax salon
00:01:21.300 and asked them to wax his unpleasant areas
00:01:26.040 and then they didn't want to do it
00:01:28.440 because it's gross and he's a man
00:01:29.840 and now he's suing them out of their business.
00:01:32.180 I tried not to talk about this story
00:01:35.120 not because I don't have thoughts about it
00:01:37.600 not because it's not important for the culture
00:01:39.400 but really just because I don't want to think about it at all.
00:01:43.500 But alas, that's what we have to do here.
00:01:45.760 So we will get into what that means
00:01:47.460 and why the left has become so misogynistic.
00:01:49.460 But first, let's talk about finding freelance talent
00:01:52.760 for your business or project.
00:01:55.380 Finding the right freelancer can be time-consuming,
00:01:57.640 it can be frustrating,
00:01:58.580 it can be overwhelming to manage
00:01:59.800 and you don't know what you're going to get.
00:02:01.240 Where do you go to find the talent?
00:02:03.160 How can you be certain that they will deliver?

00:03:49.840 All right.
00:03:51.240 Wish that ad read could have gone on
00:03:53.020 for another 15 minutes
00:03:54.100 so I don't have to talk about this gross story.
00:03:56.140 But we do have to talk about it
00:03:57.940 because it actually matters
00:03:59.060 and it shows an aspect of the modern left
00:04:02.140 that is really perverse
00:04:04.220 and it's really anti-woman
00:04:05.820 and I'll use the word
00:04:07.680 it's misogynistic.
00:04:09.560 It exposes the left's disdain,
00:04:12.500 contempt,
00:04:13.200 hatred for women
00:04:14.420 at the very bottom,
00:04:15.720 at the extreme
00:04:16.400 of this ideology.
00:04:19.320 What's the story?
00:04:20.700 It's a simple enough story.
00:04:22.180 There are Brazilian immigrant women
00:04:23.760 living in Canada
00:04:25.140 who have a waxing salon.
00:04:27.140 You've heard of what a Brazilian wax is.
00:04:29.420 It's when you wax everything.
00:04:31.620 Everything down there,
00:04:32.900 you wax and okay,
00:04:34.020 this is for women.
00:04:36.800 So a trans woman
00:04:38.940 walks into the salon.
00:04:40.460 Now the thing you'll know
00:04:41.320 about trans women
00:04:42.180 is they aren't women.
00:04:43.220 They are men.
00:04:44.140 So this giant dude
00:04:45.460 walks into the salon
00:04:46.440 and he says,
00:04:47.300 I want a Brazilian wax.
00:04:49.500 And they refuse him.
00:04:50.360 They say,
00:04:50.580 we're not going to do that.
00:04:52.400 There are a couple reasons why.
00:04:55.460 On the one hand,
00:04:56.620 I mean,
00:04:56.800 I guess this is the most important reason.
00:04:58.300 We should not live in a society
00:05:03.280 where men can go in
00:05:05.200 to women's only places
00:05:06.880 and force them
00:05:08.580 to take the men's pants off
00:05:11.200 and handle their genitals.
00:05:14.060 That's a bad society.
00:05:15.920 If your society gets to the point
00:05:17.180 where you can go in,
00:05:18.760 forcibly expose yourself to women
00:05:20.500 and make them touch your genitals,
00:05:22.900 you've gone wrong.
00:05:24.060 You've lost the plot.
00:05:25.040 You've lost the narrative.
00:05:26.220 So that's the main reason.
00:05:29.100 There's also a technical reason
00:05:30.560 why they had to refuse him
00:05:31.560 because you can't give
00:05:34.700 a Brazilian wax to a man
00:05:36.620 because the area
00:05:38.380 that you're waxing
00:05:39.240 is different for men
00:05:40.240 and for women.
00:05:41.420 They have something
00:05:42.060 they refer to it,
00:05:42.820 I think,
00:05:43.080 as manzillion.
00:05:44.520 So that's the male version of this.
00:05:46.380 But it is a different procedure.
00:05:48.000 It involves different waxes.
00:05:49.560 It involves different techniques.
00:05:51.080 So even if the women
00:05:52.060 were amenable to this idea,
00:05:53.460 they might just technically
00:05:54.480 not be able to do it
00:05:55.760 because it's different,
00:05:56.880 because men and women
00:05:57.960 are different,
00:05:58.600 because there's no such thing
00:05:59.500 as trans women.
00:06:00.480 There are just men
00:06:01.140 who are confused
00:06:02.000 about their gender
00:06:02.760 or men who are wearing dresses
00:06:04.340 or men who very much
00:06:05.320 want to be the opposite sex
00:06:07.240 than they are.
00:06:08.600 I mean,
00:06:08.840 that's really what
00:06:09.580 we're arguing about here.
00:06:11.520 And this shows
00:06:13.160 the slippery slope
00:06:15.120 of so-called compassion.
00:06:16.660 I mean,
00:06:16.820 the left would have you believe
00:06:18.240 that it is compassionate
00:06:19.460 to indulge people's delusions.
00:06:21.740 There's something like
00:06:22.480 0.2% of the population
00:06:24.420 that's confused
00:06:25.000 about their biological sex.
00:06:27.180 What the left tells you is,
00:06:28.920 look,
00:06:29.280 that small percentage
00:06:30.000 of the population,
00:06:31.480 just indulge them.
00:06:33.180 Tell the man in a dress
00:06:34.140 that he's really a woman
00:06:35.000 and just go along with it.
00:06:38.920 What could go wrong?
00:06:39.920 He's not hurting anybody.
00:06:41.020 It's not hurting anybody.
00:06:42.860 It is hurting these women.
00:06:45.160 It's forcing these women
00:06:46.540 who own a wax salon
00:06:47.980 to be exposed to men
00:06:50.000 and to fondle their genitals.
00:06:53.800 That's harmful to women.
00:06:55.920 Yes, it's not harmful to the man.
00:06:57.980 The man probably likes it.
00:06:59.360 The man is voluntarily
00:07:00.460 going in there
00:07:01.020 trying to get it.
00:07:02.700 Not only is it harmful
00:07:03.940 to the women
00:07:04.360 and the experience of it,
00:07:05.920 it's also forcing them
00:07:07.020 out of business.
00:07:07.600 So this woman,
00:07:08.500 their business is over.
00:07:09.720 I mean,
00:07:09.940 it costs so much money
00:07:10.980 after the guy files
00:07:12.340 this civil complaint.
00:07:15.260 What is the guy's name?
00:07:16.240 The man formerly named
00:07:19.240 Jonathan Yaniv,
00:07:21.540 he now pretends to be a woman
00:07:23.280 and his name that he goes by
00:07:25.040 is Jessica Yaniv.
00:07:26.560 He is not just a guy
00:07:28.440 trying to get waxed.
00:07:29.680 He is a well-known activist.
00:07:32.240 And what he does,
00:07:33.300 what his whole shtick is about,
00:07:34.780 is he goes into
00:07:35.620 these female-only places
00:07:36.860 and then he wants them
00:07:38.660 to do intimate services on him.
00:07:41.380 And then when they refuse to do it,
00:07:44.260 he files complaints
00:07:45.100 with the government.
00:07:45.680 And then he tries to use
00:07:46.880 the strong arm of the state,
00:07:48.340 which has been totally perverted
00:07:49.900 to harm women,
00:07:52.500 into forcing these women
00:07:53.720 into dealing with his genitals.
00:07:56.660 That's what's going on.
00:07:59.280 I mean,
00:07:59.980 this is,
00:08:00.600 I've had people come up to me
00:08:01.800 and they'll say,
00:08:02.320 Michael,
00:08:03.360 why do you even talk about
00:08:05.160 the issue of gender ideology?
00:08:07.220 They'll say,
00:08:07.480 well,
00:08:07.600 I talk about it because
00:08:08.540 it's become a dominant
00:08:09.980 cultural and political issue
00:08:11.320 and presidential candidates
00:08:12.300 are talking about it
00:08:13.040 all the time.
00:08:13.700 And so,
00:08:14.740 as someone who's looking
00:08:15.680 at politics and culture,
00:08:16.640 I have to talk about it.
00:08:18.320 They say,
00:08:18.600 yeah,
00:08:18.700 but why do you have to say
00:08:19.820 that men can't be women?
00:08:22.460 Who is it really hurting?
00:08:23.780 Now,
00:08:24.120 look,
00:08:24.320 this is a very tangible example
00:08:26.300 of who's being hurt
00:08:27.020 by this ideology.
00:08:27.760 but this isn't the reason.
00:08:33.420 I mean,
00:08:33.700 the reason to say
00:08:35.340 that men are not women
00:08:36.380 is not because
00:08:37.660 a Brazilian wax shop owner
00:08:40.680 gets hurt sometimes.
00:08:42.700 The reason is because
00:08:44.020 it is true
00:08:44.920 that men are not women.
00:08:46.480 And when you deal in lies,
00:08:47.860 when you allow yourself
00:08:48.960 to be taken in by fantasies,
00:08:50.660 even if it seems
00:08:51.780 innocent enough at first,
00:08:52.980 who is it going to hurt?
00:08:53.740 You're talking about
00:08:54.140 0.2% of the population.
00:08:55.800 It's not a big deal.
00:08:56.860 Forget about it.
00:08:58.040 Even if it's so tempting.
00:08:59.400 I mean,
00:08:59.520 that's the temptation
00:09:00.180 to deal in lies.
00:09:00.840 It's just a little white lie.
00:09:02.000 It's just a little fantasy.
00:09:04.100 It's easier.
00:09:05.120 It's easier than dealing
00:09:06.220 in the reality.
00:09:07.240 But then you go down the line
00:09:08.780 and all of a sudden,
00:09:09.960 yeah,
00:09:10.140 maybe these immigrant wax owners
00:09:12.400 are going to be hurt.
00:09:13.680 And then you go further
00:09:14.420 down the line
00:09:14.960 and what you now have
00:09:15.840 in Canada
00:09:16.400 and soon to be
00:09:17.820 in the United States
00:09:18.660 is men
00:09:21.420 using the strong arm
00:09:23.660 of the state
00:09:24.600 to force women
00:09:26.660 into seeing
00:09:29.140 their genitals
00:09:29.820 to force women
00:09:31.180 into very uncomfortable,
00:09:33.380 abusive,
00:09:34.600 bizarre,
00:09:35.600 creepy,
00:09:36.480 weird situations
00:09:37.560 by the force
00:09:38.500 of government.
00:09:39.040 touch this dude's genitals
00:09:42.380 or lose your business.
00:09:43.820 That's what the state
00:09:44.920 in Canada
00:09:45.860 told this Brazilian immigrant.
00:09:47.580 So this guy's filed
00:09:49.620 15 complaints
00:09:51.040 with esthetician.
00:09:53.660 This is the word
00:09:54.740 for people
00:09:55.620 who deal in beauty.
00:09:58.280 Esthetician.
00:09:59.820 He's filed 15 complaints
00:10:01.620 with this
00:10:02.320 British Columbia
00:10:03.560 Human Rights Tribunal
00:10:05.280 seeking financial restitution
00:10:07.180 and the discrimination
00:10:08.660 that he claims
00:10:09.480 is gender identity.
00:10:10.840 The reason I say
00:10:11.700 that this is coming
00:10:12.380 to the United States
00:10:13.200 is there are actually cases
00:10:14.920 in the pipeline
00:10:15.700 right now
00:10:16.220 on their way
00:10:17.000 to the Supreme Court
00:10:17.820 that are going to
00:10:19.020 pose this question
00:10:20.420 to the highest court
00:10:21.460 in the United States.
00:10:22.560 In the United States
00:10:23.800 and Canada
00:10:24.320 and elsewhere,
00:10:25.140 we have certain protections
00:10:26.460 against discrimination.
00:10:27.860 So we have protections
00:10:28.860 against discrimination
00:10:29.820 on race.
00:10:31.180 We have some protections
00:10:33.020 against discrimination
00:10:33.720 on religion.
00:10:35.180 And we have protections
00:10:37.660 against discrimination
00:10:38.940 on the basis of sex.
00:10:41.480 This is the whole idea
00:10:42.640 of Title IX,
00:10:43.520 all these different laws
00:10:45.840 that were passed
00:10:46.360 in the 1960s.
00:10:49.160 So you already have
00:10:51.200 laws against discrimination
00:10:52.320 on the basis of sex.
00:10:55.020 Now what they want to add
00:10:56.500 is protections
00:10:57.400 against discrimination
00:10:58.200 on the basis
00:10:59.480 of gender identity.
00:11:04.480 But to have laws
00:11:06.620 protecting against discrimination
00:11:08.420 on the basis
00:11:08.920 of gender identity
00:11:09.860 destroys the laws
00:11:11.860 that protect
00:11:12.760 against discrimination
00:11:13.680 on the basis
00:11:14.300 of sex.
00:11:15.440 Here's a very simple
00:11:16.300 version of this.
00:11:17.300 Speaking of Title IX,
00:11:19.420 speaking of all
00:11:20.900 of these protections,
00:11:21.700 particularly at schools,
00:11:23.760 you know,
00:11:24.800 female sports
00:11:25.540 in high school
00:11:26.140 or in college.
00:11:27.940 We have different sports
00:11:29.500 for men and women
00:11:30.300 and boys and girls
00:11:31.020 in high school.
00:11:31.760 And the reason is
00:11:32.380 men are physically
00:11:32.900 stronger than women
00:11:33.760 and they're faster
00:11:35.360 than women.
00:11:36.020 And so if you had men
00:11:37.740 competing against women
00:11:38.860 in, let's say,
00:11:40.060 high school track,
00:11:40.800 the men are going to win.
00:11:43.100 And the women
00:11:43.720 are going to lose
00:11:44.240 and then they don't
00:11:44.660 get their scholarships
00:11:45.300 and they don't get
00:11:45.800 their trophies
00:11:46.300 and they don't get
00:11:46.740 to go to the championship
00:11:47.500 and really they might
00:11:48.420 as well not compete.
00:11:50.920 So that's why we have
00:11:52.320 these protections
00:11:52.900 on the basis of sex
00:11:54.080 and that creates
00:11:54.720 female girls
00:11:56.520 high school track.
00:11:58.380 The minute that you
00:11:59.180 have a protection
00:11:59.740 on the basis
00:12:00.220 of gender identity,
00:12:01.760 you no longer
00:12:02.420 have the protection
00:12:03.040 on the basis of sex
00:12:04.000 because men are now
00:12:05.220 allowed to compete
00:12:05.880 in the girls
00:12:06.440 high school track.
00:12:07.860 And guess what's
00:12:08.260 going to happen?
00:12:08.640 They're going to win.
00:12:09.160 That's what we've
00:12:09.540 been seeing happening
00:12:10.200 in Connecticut.
00:12:11.580 And there are cases
00:12:12.340 now moving all the way
00:12:13.260 up in the pipeline
00:12:14.820 of the courts
00:12:15.380 that are going to
00:12:15.960 have to determine this.
00:12:17.320 Are we going to be
00:12:18.080 a society that protects
00:12:19.640 people on the basis
00:12:20.540 of sex or are we
00:12:21.160 going to be a society
00:12:22.100 that protects people
00:12:22.880 on the basis
00:12:23.640 of imagination,
00:12:24.580 which is to say
00:12:25.160 does not protect women
00:12:26.280 and does prefer men?
00:12:27.780 That's the question
00:12:28.680 that we're going
00:12:29.580 to have to answer.
00:12:31.000 And the left
00:12:31.560 has embraced
00:12:32.440 the gender identity.
00:12:33.720 They're ignoring
00:12:34.440 the sex now.
00:12:35.160 They're done with sex.
00:12:36.220 Sex was useful to them
00:12:37.220 when they were dividing
00:12:37.900 people up on feminism
00:12:39.680 in the 1960s and 70s.
00:12:41.380 Now that's over.
00:12:42.360 They're talking about
00:12:43.200 gender identity.
00:12:45.540 Don't take my word for it.
00:12:46.860 Take the words
00:12:48.280 of the Democratic candidates
00:12:50.640 for president.
00:12:51.480 We'll get to what
00:12:51.840 they have to say
00:12:52.260 in a second.
00:12:52.700 But first,
00:12:53.620 support for the
00:12:54.080 Michael Knowles show
00:12:54.620 comes from our friends
00:12:55.520 at Rocket Mortgage
00:12:56.420 by Quicken Loans.
00:12:57.640 Finding the right house
00:12:58.520 is not easy.
00:13:00.000 And I would know that
00:13:00.680 because I live in L.A.
00:13:01.760 In L.A.,
00:13:02.600 every house you want
00:13:03.220 to buy is like
00:13:03.760 $7 zillion
00:13:04.460 and every neighborhood
00:13:05.980 is, you know,
00:13:07.300 they're so particular.
00:13:09.160 However,
00:13:10.100 once I do find a house,
00:13:11.480 I can at least
00:13:12.140 rest easy
00:13:12.980 because finding
00:13:13.520 the right mortgage
00:13:14.200 will be easy too.

00:13:23.120 That means
00:13:23.480 that their number
00:13:23.920 one goal

00:13:53.460 You know,
00:13:53.680 people don't learn
00:13:54.420 anything anymore.
00:13:55.460 They learn about
00:13:56.520 gender ideology
00:13:58.080 and ballet
00:13:59.120 and all these
00:13:59.700 super-duper ballet
00:14:01.820 scientific studies.
00:14:02.900 They don't actually
00:14:03.680 learn about
00:14:04.480 practical things
00:14:05.260 like getting a mortgage
00:14:06.000 or doing your taxes.
00:14:07.420 I don't know
00:14:07.780 any of those things.
00:14:08.500 Fortunately,
00:14:09.000 Rocket Mortgage
00:14:09.600 is there
00:14:10.060 because Rocket Mortgage

00:14:24.420 Simple as that.
00:14:26.280 The left
00:14:26.920 has made their choice.
00:14:27.740 They're picking
00:14:28.160 gender ideology
00:14:29.160 as the new
00:14:30.240 protected class.
00:14:31.820 Which means
00:14:32.320 they are ditching
00:14:33.180 sex as the old
00:14:34.660 protected class.
00:14:36.080 And they're doing it
00:14:36.920 on their Twitter accounts
00:14:37.800 and they're doing it
00:14:38.560 at the presidential debates.
00:14:41.500 So three Democratic
00:14:42.860 candidates for president
00:14:43.780 have now added
00:14:45.020 their preferred pronouns
00:14:46.960 to their Twitter account.
00:14:48.760 And obviously
00:14:49.480 this is kind of
00:14:50.240 just some silly
00:14:50.820 virtue signaling
00:14:51.620 to the woke left.
00:14:52.900 But the premise
00:14:54.100 of the pronouns,
00:14:55.340 the preferred pronouns,
00:14:56.700 is that it is
00:14:57.380 entirely possible
00:14:58.500 that
00:14:59.700 they identify
00:15:02.160 as a sex
00:15:03.540 that is not
00:15:04.540 their actual sex.
00:15:07.260 The idea being
00:15:08.040 my name is
00:15:08.600 Michael Knowles.
00:15:10.080 I have an Adam's apple.
00:15:11.440 I have a pretty deep voice.
00:15:12.480 I'm not a hulking
00:15:13.020 Adonis of a man,
00:15:14.000 but I'm at least
00:15:14.580 recognizable as a man.
00:15:17.000 Bone structure,
00:15:17.900 that sort of thing.
00:15:19.000 Other things too.
00:15:19.820 I don't go into
00:15:20.280 wax salon,
00:15:20.920 so I won't get into it.
00:15:23.000 It is entirely
00:15:24.060 plausible
00:15:25.220 under the pronoun,
00:15:26.680 preferred pronoun regime,
00:15:27.660 that I could say
00:15:28.420 my preferred pronouns
00:15:29.360 are she and her.
00:15:31.800 And you would have
00:15:32.500 to refer to me that way.
00:15:33.360 That's what
00:15:33.720 Elizabeth Warren is doing.
00:15:35.140 She added
00:15:35.440 she and her
00:15:36.720 to her Twitter account.
00:15:38.800 Actually what she first did
00:15:39.720 is that she and hers,
00:15:42.380 the possessive of it,
00:15:44.020 and she did it
00:15:44.760 because she's just
00:15:45.400 an old white boomer lady
00:15:46.900 who really
00:15:47.940 all she wants to do
00:15:49.040 is be cool
00:15:49.700 and woke
00:15:50.180 and super hip
00:15:50.940 and she just isn't.
00:15:52.600 You know,
00:15:53.020 she's like the mom
00:15:54.220 on Mean Girls.
00:15:55.660 I'm not a regular
00:15:56.400 presidential candidate.
00:15:57.660 I'm a cool
00:15:58.340 presidential candidate,
00:15:59.520 you know,
00:15:59.800 but then she just
00:16:00.320 gets it wrong.
00:16:01.040 So she's edited that
00:16:01.880 since she and her.
00:16:04.580 Not to be outdone,
00:16:05.560 Bill de Blasio,
00:16:06.980 who I completely forgot
00:16:08.480 was in the presidential race,
00:16:10.120 current Bolshevik mayor
00:16:11.060 of New York,
00:16:11.740 he added he and him,
00:16:14.200 which is so good.
00:16:14.780 I was confused.
00:16:15.540 I didn't know
00:16:15.840 if I was going to call
00:16:16.520 this like tough-talking,
00:16:18.780 tall New York mayor.
00:16:20.220 I didn't know
00:16:20.860 if I was going to call him
00:16:21.780 a little girl or something.
00:16:23.100 I was going to call him she.
00:16:24.160 But he adds this too
00:16:24.980 because he is,
00:16:25.980 like Elizabeth Warren,
00:16:27.340 always positioned himself
00:16:29.120 as a far left-wing candidate
00:16:30.900 and on the progressive
00:16:33.140 and woke side
00:16:33.840 of the Democratic Party.
00:16:35.500 But I have to say
00:16:37.780 they both got outwoked,
00:16:40.220 Warren and Bill de Blasio.
00:16:42.000 They got outwoked
00:16:43.140 by Julian Castro,
00:16:44.940 who said that his preferred pronouns
00:16:47.260 are he,
00:16:49.180 him,
00:16:49.700 and El.
00:16:53.560 Ooh.
00:16:55.120 Spanish.
00:16:56.480 Woke.
00:16:57.320 That's so much more woke
00:16:58.620 than those two white people.
00:17:00.480 Those two knuckle-draggers.
00:17:01.920 They didn't even add
00:17:02.480 a Spanish pronoun.
00:17:05.520 El.
00:17:06.860 There is like a kind of
00:17:08.220 esoteric message here,
00:17:09.420 by the way, too,
00:17:09.900 because El
00:17:10.400 is also a word for
00:17:12.380 God.
00:17:13.800 You know,
00:17:15.420 like El.
00:17:15.980 El,
00:17:16.480 Allah,
00:17:17.520 or El,
00:17:18.300 it means God.
00:17:19.860 And so,
00:17:20.660 I do like this idea
00:17:21.840 that we are playing God
00:17:23.540 when we are trying to say,
00:17:24.700 I can recreate myself.
00:17:26.120 I'm a man,
00:17:26.680 but I will recreate myself
00:17:27.580 as a woman.
00:17:29.900 I have total power
00:17:31.200 over my nature
00:17:32.000 and my circumstances.
00:17:33.440 I mean,
00:17:33.620 that is the implicit premise
00:17:35.840 that the left is talking about.
00:17:37.560 And it's coincidentally
00:17:38.900 being expressed
00:17:39.520 in those pronouns.
00:17:40.180 But according,
00:17:42.060 he has these preferred pronouns there,
00:17:44.180 but even that wasn't woke enough.
00:17:46.040 Even the Spanish pronoun
00:17:47.240 wasn't work enough
00:17:48.220 because according to
00:17:49.760 the New York Magazine reporter
00:17:50.960 Olivia Nuzzi,
00:17:51.980 this is what she tweeted out,
00:17:52.900 quote,
00:17:53.380 at a Planned Parenthood event,
00:17:55.900 a non-binary activist,
00:17:58.340 that's an activist
00:17:59.060 who doesn't think
00:18:00.320 that he's either man or woman.
00:18:02.200 He's some combination
00:18:03.960 or neither,
00:18:05.080 whatever.
00:18:06.140 A non-binary activist
00:18:07.560 just asked Castro
00:18:08.960 how he'll expand
00:18:10.360 sexual and reproductive health
00:18:12.520 for trans people.
00:18:14.640 Castro responds
00:18:15.520 by first asking
00:18:16.340 which pronoun
00:18:17.140 the activist prefers.
00:18:19.560 They replied,
00:18:21.560 I actually don't use
00:18:23.500 any pronouns,
00:18:24.860 which received some applause.
00:18:27.560 Ooh,
00:18:28.320 I don't use any pronouns.
00:18:29.520 So pretty soon,
00:18:30.320 Castro's going to have
00:18:31.360 to delete those pronouns
00:18:32.240 because the new woke thing,
00:18:34.360 for the last five minutes,
00:18:35.400 the woke thing
00:18:36.240 has been to add
00:18:36.800 your preferred pronouns,
00:18:37.900 but pretty soon
00:18:38.420 that is going to become
00:18:39.380 bigoted and transphobic
00:18:41.140 and homophobic
00:18:41.940 and whatever-phobic.
00:18:43.360 And so now,
00:18:44.060 the new one is going to be
00:18:44.900 erasing all distinctions
00:18:46.320 whatsoever,
00:18:47.440 which is what this is really
00:18:48.600 boiling down to.
00:18:49.820 Any distinction
00:18:50.540 between any sort of
00:18:51.440 human person
00:18:52.280 is going to be
00:18:54.120 wiped away.
00:18:55.300 And we'll see what that means
00:18:56.220 for women
00:18:56.600 in just a second.
00:18:58.500 But Castro
00:18:59.360 is the vanguard.
00:19:00.840 He is leading
00:19:01.440 the way here.
00:19:02.140 You remember
00:19:03.060 in that
00:19:03.640 first Democratic
00:19:05.140 presidential debate
00:19:06.060 when everyone else
00:19:07.100 was endorsing
00:19:07.760 abortion on demand,
00:19:08.880 paid for by taxpayers,
00:19:10.500 without apology,
00:19:11.740 up until the point of birth.
00:19:13.000 Castro took it
00:19:13.640 a step further
00:19:14.260 and he endorsed abortion
00:19:16.100 for biological men.
00:19:18.280 I don't believe
00:19:18.880 only in reproductive
00:19:19.860 freedom.
00:19:21.640 I believe in
00:19:22.100 reproductive justice.
00:19:24.740 And, you know,
00:19:26.360 what that means
00:19:27.140 is that just because
00:19:28.420 a woman,
00:19:29.700 or let's also
00:19:30.560 not forget
00:19:31.160 someone in the
00:19:32.200 trans community,
00:19:33.380 a trans female,
00:19:34.180 is poor
00:19:36.760 doesn't mean
00:19:37.680 they shouldn't
00:19:38.100 have the right
00:19:38.720 to exercise
00:19:39.440 that right to choose.
00:19:41.120 And so I absolutely
00:19:41.880 would cover the right
00:19:43.200 to have an abortion.
00:19:44.380 That's right.
00:19:46.100 Woo!
00:19:47.740 Yeah, you're endorsing
00:19:48.740 abortions for men.
00:19:50.060 I mean, this shows
00:19:50.740 a little bit
00:19:51.920 of his ignorance here
00:19:52.640 because he wants
00:19:53.860 to seem like
00:19:54.460 the wokest candidate.
00:19:55.260 So he says,
00:19:55.680 I don't believe
00:19:55.980 in reproductive freedom.
00:19:57.040 I believe in
00:19:57.540 reproductive justice.
00:19:59.960 You say,
00:20:00.520 Julian Castro,
00:20:02.220 what's the difference?
00:20:03.160 I don't know.
00:20:04.180 But one sounds
00:20:05.300 really serious.
00:20:06.960 And then he says,
00:20:08.680 we need to not forget
00:20:09.740 about trans women.
00:20:11.100 And I think what he
00:20:11.820 meant to say
00:20:12.260 was trans men.
00:20:13.780 Trans men is the term
00:20:14.960 to refer to
00:20:15.860 women who dress
00:20:17.840 like men.
00:20:19.040 And so obviously
00:20:20.040 trans men,
00:20:21.120 which are really
00:20:21.620 just women,
00:20:22.420 can still have babies
00:20:23.500 because they have
00:20:24.200 a uterus
00:20:24.620 and they're women.
00:20:25.880 But trans women
00:20:27.300 cannot have babies
00:20:28.340 because they're men.
00:20:30.120 And in Canada,
00:20:31.280 they can't get
00:20:32.160 Brazilian waxes either
00:20:33.140 because they're men.
00:20:33.860 They're not
00:20:34.780 women.
00:20:35.900 He got that a little
00:20:36.540 bit confused.
00:20:37.360 Or he's endorsing
00:20:38.280 abortions for men.
00:20:39.140 I don't know which
00:20:39.640 is worse.
00:20:40.880 Point is,
00:20:42.200 gender identity
00:20:43.540 as a category
00:20:44.640 is essentially
00:20:47.740 a misogynistic idea
00:20:49.300 because it erases
00:20:50.600 women.
00:20:52.480 I think now
00:20:53.320 this is taught
00:20:53.840 in schools
00:20:54.380 as though it's
00:20:55.260 just obvious
00:20:55.960 that there is
00:20:56.940 biological sex
00:20:58.100 and gender identity
00:20:59.520 and that those
00:21:00.240 are totally
00:21:00.860 separate.
00:21:02.380 No,
00:21:02.960 there is no
00:21:03.400 such thing
00:21:03.840 as gender identity.
00:21:05.000 This is a
00:21:05.400 completely fictional
00:21:06.200 concept that is
00:21:07.240 invented by
00:21:08.020 misogynistic
00:21:09.160 ideologues
00:21:09.960 who are erasing
00:21:10.980 women.
00:21:13.260 The left
00:21:13.880 talks about
00:21:14.380 erasure,
00:21:15.200 right?
00:21:15.480 And usually
00:21:16.160 they use it
00:21:16.920 in a silly way.
00:21:17.800 This is one
00:21:18.520 example
00:21:19.060 where it's
00:21:21.820 true,
00:21:22.140 where it's
00:21:22.340 actually happening,
00:21:23.180 where gender
00:21:23.580 identity is
00:21:24.160 erasing women.
00:21:25.000 gender ideology
00:21:27.660 erases women.
00:21:29.920 What is a
00:21:31.160 woman?
00:21:32.240 What is a
00:21:32.660 woman?
00:21:34.200 Just ask
00:21:34.960 yourself that.
00:21:35.400 I mean,
00:21:35.620 anybody who
00:21:36.340 embraces the
00:21:37.020 gender ideology,
00:21:37.820 just say,
00:21:38.060 what is a
00:21:38.760 woman?
00:21:40.240 Well,
00:21:40.680 I know that
00:21:41.320 I'm a woman.
00:21:42.520 Okay,
00:21:42.740 how do you
00:21:43.060 know that
00:21:43.320 you're a
00:21:43.580 woman?
00:21:44.240 I just
00:21:44.820 know deep
00:21:45.820 down.
00:21:47.160 Okay,
00:21:47.760 well,
00:21:48.200 I don't know
00:21:49.600 that you're
00:21:49.880 a woman.
00:21:50.320 If you're a
00:21:50.700 man who
00:21:51.020 says you're
00:21:51.380 a woman,
00:21:51.900 how can
00:21:52.580 you convince
00:21:53.020 me that
00:21:54.300 you even
00:21:54.680 know what
00:21:54.980 it is to
00:21:55.340 be a
00:21:55.580 woman?
00:21:55.820 What you're
00:21:56.140 really saying
00:21:56.620 then is
00:21:56.860 that men
00:21:57.460 have the
00:21:58.160 right to
00:21:58.700 define what
00:21:59.660 it is to
00:22:00.400 be a
00:22:00.680 woman.
00:22:01.000 Now,
00:22:01.260 I'll give
00:22:01.560 you a
00:22:01.740 very basic
00:22:02.260 answer of
00:22:02.760 what is
00:22:03.020 a woman.
00:22:04.840 A person
00:22:05.760 who isn't
00:22:06.260 a man.
00:22:07.360 I'll give
00:22:07.880 you a
00:22:08.300 definition of
00:22:08.860 what a
00:22:09.300 man is,
00:22:09.780 is a
00:22:10.020 person who
00:22:10.420 isn't a
00:22:10.800 woman.
00:22:11.440 Sexual
00:22:11.800 difference,
00:22:12.760 the difference
00:22:13.200 between men
00:22:13.680 and women,
00:22:14.600 is fundamental
00:22:16.100 to who we
00:22:17.080 are.
00:22:18.220 That's why
00:22:18.600 it appears
00:22:19.080 at the very
00:22:19.780 beginning of
00:22:20.540 every creation
00:22:21.280 story.
00:22:22.920 Within the
00:22:23.620 first chapters
00:22:24.320 of Genesis,
00:22:25.600 you have
00:22:26.140 sexual
00:22:26.680 difference.
00:22:28.100 Eve,
00:22:28.640 pulled from
00:22:29.040 Adam's
00:22:29.380 rib,
00:22:30.300 complimentary
00:22:30.760 to him,
00:22:32.080 different,
00:22:32.800 but she
00:22:33.060 compliments
00:22:33.540 him.
00:22:35.500 Gilgamesh,
00:22:36.100 sexual
00:22:36.400 difference,
00:22:36.780 right in the
00:22:37.040 beginning.
00:22:37.300 There's a
00:22:37.600 reason.
00:22:37.960 This is
00:22:38.160 essential to
00:22:39.240 who we
00:22:39.640 are.
00:22:41.600 If there
00:22:42.240 is no
00:22:42.660 sexual
00:22:43.000 difference,
00:22:43.540 then there
00:22:43.800 is no
00:22:44.140 such thing
00:22:44.520 as women.
00:22:45.400 If there's
00:22:46.080 no biological
00:22:47.200 or spiritual
00:22:48.460 or whatever
00:22:49.140 kind of
00:22:49.540 difference
00:22:49.960 between the
00:22:50.840 two types
00:22:51.700 of human
00:22:52.200 beings,
00:22:52.700 then there's
00:22:53.140 only one
00:22:53.560 type.
00:22:54.240 You can
00:22:54.580 call that
00:22:54.940 type man
00:22:55.440 or you can
00:22:55.760 call that
00:22:56.060 type woman
00:22:56.540 or you can
00:22:56.920 call that
00:22:57.300 type whatever,
00:22:58.400 but there's
00:22:58.760 only one.
00:22:59.440 There isn't
00:22:59.940 that difference.
00:23:01.160 Gender
00:23:01.580 ideology seeks
00:23:02.640 this kind of
00:23:03.160 bizarre
00:23:03.640 conformity.
00:23:05.320 You might
00:23:05.820 say,
00:23:06.100 it's not
00:23:06.460 just that
00:23:06.740 it erases
00:23:07.140 women.
00:23:08.000 Maybe it
00:23:08.540 actually
00:23:09.000 preserves
00:23:09.460 women and
00:23:10.000 it erases
00:23:10.580 men.
00:23:11.460 You ever
00:23:11.700 think about
00:23:12.060 that,
00:23:12.380 Michael?
00:23:12.840 It doesn't.
00:23:13.740 Because when
00:23:14.940 you erase
00:23:15.700 sexual
00:23:16.220 difference,
00:23:16.660 this
00:23:17.280 naturally,
00:23:19.680 I would
00:23:20.340 dare say
00:23:20.800 inevitably,
00:23:21.640 redounds to
00:23:22.200 the benefit
00:23:22.640 of men.
00:23:24.780 How do I
00:23:25.420 know that?
00:23:25.760 Well,
00:23:25.940 because we
00:23:26.260 started to
00:23:26.720 see that
00:23:27.060 in the
00:23:27.300 1960s and
00:23:28.160 70s with
00:23:28.700 second wave
00:23:29.120 feminism.
00:23:30.900 Second wave
00:23:31.540 feminism,
00:23:32.060 which rejected
00:23:32.600 all traditional
00:23:33.420 ideas of
00:23:34.040 femininity,
00:23:35.860 rejected all
00:23:36.620 kind of
00:23:36.960 traditional
00:23:37.360 gender roles,
00:23:38.540 but what
00:23:39.100 did it do?
00:23:39.600 In the name
00:23:39.960 of women's
00:23:40.420 liberation,
00:23:41.000 it said that
00:23:41.460 women had
00:23:42.300 to just start
00:23:42.800 behaving like
00:23:43.540 men.
00:23:44.800 Women couldn't
00:23:45.320 stay at
00:23:45.660 home.
00:23:45.960 Women couldn't
00:23:46.420 raise children.
00:23:47.180 Women shouldn't
00:23:47.660 have children
00:23:48.200 really at
00:23:48.640 all in many
00:23:49.120 cases.
00:23:50.000 Women should
00:23:50.880 go work
00:23:51.740 100 hours a
00:23:52.740 week.
00:23:53.380 Women should
00:23:54.120 compete in
00:23:55.920 physical sports
00:23:56.860 all the time.
00:23:57.720 Women should
00:23:58.320 be drafted to
00:23:59.140 join the
00:23:59.400 military.
00:24:00.100 Women should
00:24:00.640 do things
00:24:01.640 that for
00:24:02.420 perfectly
00:24:02.900 natural reasons
00:24:03.860 men are
00:24:04.960 more geared
00:24:05.580 toward.
00:24:06.180 When men
00:24:06.680 and women
00:24:06.980 compete
00:24:07.320 physically,
00:24:07.880 what happens?
00:24:09.620 Men win.
00:24:11.740 And women
00:24:12.160 are erased.
00:24:13.760 When men
00:24:14.240 and women
00:24:14.560 compete
00:24:14.960 professionally,
00:24:15.540 men often
00:24:17.100 win.
00:24:18.220 Not all
00:24:18.700 the time.
00:24:19.360 Not saying
00:24:19.780 women can't
00:24:20.320 be perfectly
00:24:20.900 competent and
00:24:23.280 expert professionals
00:24:24.360 and extraordinarily
00:24:25.280 ambitious and
00:24:26.280 rise to the top
00:24:27.440 of their fields.
00:24:27.900 I'm not saying
00:24:28.400 that.
00:24:28.820 I'm saying
00:24:29.400 that generally
00:24:30.220 speaking,
00:24:30.760 when men and
00:24:31.260 women compete
00:24:31.720 professionally,
00:24:32.660 men win for
00:24:34.060 natural reasons
00:24:35.020 because men tend
00:24:36.300 to be more
00:24:37.220 professionally inclined,
00:24:38.960 more professionally
00:24:39.600 focused.
00:24:40.420 They want to
00:24:40.960 spend more
00:24:41.500 time at work.
00:24:42.560 They want to
00:24:42.880 dedicate more
00:24:43.440 of their mental
00:24:43.920 energy to
00:24:44.800 their jobs.
00:24:45.480 They're more
00:24:45.760 single-minded.
00:24:46.760 They're less
00:24:47.520 able to keep
00:24:48.860 track of lots
00:24:49.820 of different
00:24:50.180 things.
00:24:50.700 They're generally
00:24:51.320 less organized.
00:24:52.780 Men are generally
00:24:53.560 less nurturing.
00:24:55.120 And the
00:24:55.780 biological fact is
00:24:57.040 men are unable
00:24:57.780 to conceive
00:24:58.360 life.
00:24:59.640 So women
00:25:00.380 naturally can
00:25:01.360 conceive life
00:25:02.100 and in most
00:25:02.760 cases they want
00:25:03.600 to conceive
00:25:04.080 life and they
00:25:04.620 want to nurture
00:25:05.160 and they want
00:25:05.560 to raise
00:25:05.840 children.
00:25:06.420 So there is
00:25:07.080 a natural
00:25:07.860 professional
00:25:08.640 advantage to
00:25:09.900 men.
00:25:11.500 And feminism
00:25:12.040 set the stage
00:25:12.940 for this gender
00:25:13.500 ideology by
00:25:14.440 exalting
00:25:15.080 traditionally male
00:25:16.160 attributes over
00:25:17.040 female attributes.
00:25:18.360 Now,
00:25:19.580 you know,
00:25:20.060 people look at
00:25:20.720 transgenderism and
00:25:21.660 feminism as
00:25:22.440 completely opposed
00:25:23.360 to one another.
00:25:24.020 In many ways
00:25:24.660 they are.
00:25:25.700 Feminism seeks
00:25:26.440 to allow women
00:25:27.120 to define what
00:25:27.940 it is to be a
00:25:28.500 woman.
00:25:29.440 Transgender
00:25:29.920 ideology says
00:25:31.480 there's no such
00:25:32.060 thing as men
00:25:32.560 and women and
00:25:33.200 by the way men
00:25:33.880 can define what
00:25:34.580 womanhood is.
00:25:35.320 They seem
00:25:35.740 opposed.
00:25:37.020 Except gender
00:25:38.600 ideology is built
00:25:39.600 on feminism.
00:25:40.420 When feminism
00:25:40.840 in the 1960s
00:25:42.000 exalted every
00:25:43.520 male attribute,
00:25:44.600 male characteristics,
00:25:45.660 male preferences
00:25:46.320 over traditional
00:25:48.400 ideas of
00:25:49.660 femininity,
00:25:51.360 gender ideology
00:25:52.060 came in as the
00:25:52.840 sucker punch at
00:25:53.580 the end and
00:25:54.120 finished off the
00:25:55.180 job.
00:25:57.480 And so you're
00:25:57.920 in this very
00:25:58.560 awful situation
00:25:59.880 where men and
00:26:00.400 women are now
00:26:00.840 competing with
00:26:01.580 one another.
00:26:02.600 And it's
00:26:02.920 resulting in
00:26:04.180 wax salons and
00:26:06.320 Canada being
00:26:07.200 shut down
00:26:07.880 because women
00:26:09.400 won't agree to
00:26:10.320 fondle men's
00:26:11.160 genitals even
00:26:12.360 if the men are
00:26:12.780 wearing a dress.
00:26:14.320 The traditional
00:26:14.880 view of course is
00:26:16.160 that men and
00:26:16.560 women aren't
00:26:17.060 supposed to
00:26:17.460 compete.
00:26:18.320 We don't
00:26:18.900 compete with
00:26:19.380 each other.
00:26:20.920 Men and women
00:26:21.400 are supposed to
00:26:21.960 love each other.
00:26:23.380 Men and women
00:26:23.900 are made for
00:26:24.600 each other.
00:26:25.220 That statement
00:26:25.680 is probably
00:26:26.180 going to be
00:26:26.560 banned as
00:26:26.980 hate speech.
00:26:27.480 I'm probably
00:26:27.720 going to lose
00:26:28.100 my YouTube
00:26:28.800 channel because
00:26:29.420 of that.
00:26:29.760 But that's
00:26:31.880 the traditional
00:26:33.320 idea.
00:26:33.920 I'm not in
00:26:34.340 competition with
00:26:35.200 women.
00:26:35.560 I love women.
00:26:37.560 You know,
00:26:37.940 the old line is
00:26:38.800 there will never
00:26:39.240 be a gender
00:26:39.820 war because
00:26:40.740 everybody is
00:26:41.280 sleeping with
00:26:41.780 the enemy.
00:26:42.720 That's true.
00:26:44.080 That should be
00:26:44.600 true.
00:26:45.900 But hatred of
00:26:47.000 women and
00:26:48.200 hatred of
00:26:48.660 womanhood is
00:26:49.380 on the rise
00:26:50.100 on the left.
00:26:51.420 You see it not
00:26:52.040 just in wax
00:26:53.020 salons in
00:26:53.980 Canada.
00:26:54.720 You see it not
00:26:55.260 just in the
00:26:56.080 presidential debates.
00:26:57.380 You see it in
00:26:58.160 the Miss World
00:26:58.720 USA pageant.
00:27:00.540 Miss Michigan.
00:27:02.020 You know,
00:27:02.400 it's a little
00:27:02.640 confusing because
00:27:03.220 there are like
00:27:03.520 20 different
00:27:04.060 Miss Americas
00:27:04.580 now.
00:27:05.160 There's Miss
00:27:05.520 America,
00:27:06.040 Miss Universe,
00:27:06.700 Miss World
00:27:07.060 USA.
00:27:07.780 So this one,
00:27:08.440 the latter,
00:27:08.960 Miss World
00:27:09.280 USA, has
00:27:10.200 stripped Miss
00:27:10.900 Michigan of
00:27:11.420 her crown.
00:27:12.660 And the
00:27:13.000 reason they
00:27:13.820 did it is
00:27:15.880 because she
00:27:16.360 refused to
00:27:17.200 wear the
00:27:17.940 hijab.
00:27:19.000 She refused
00:27:19.840 to submit
00:27:20.720 herself to
00:27:22.200 an oppressive
00:27:23.500 and alien
00:27:25.500 religions
00:27:26.380 practices for
00:27:27.860 women.
00:27:28.260 She's not
00:27:28.660 Muslim.
00:27:29.560 She has
00:27:29.940 no obligation
00:27:31.560 to wear
00:27:31.940 the hijab
00:27:32.520 and she
00:27:32.820 objects to
00:27:33.360 the hijab
00:27:33.840 on religious
00:27:34.480 and ethical
00:27:35.680 grounds because
00:27:36.780 it is used
00:27:38.080 throughout the
00:27:38.680 world as a
00:27:39.280 tool of
00:27:39.820 women's
00:27:40.600 oppression.
00:27:41.400 She's 20
00:27:42.060 years old,
00:27:42.960 this girl.
00:27:43.680 She is a
00:27:44.260 conservative
00:27:44.660 activist.
00:27:45.480 She's a
00:27:45.780 Trump supporter.
00:27:46.560 Her name is
00:27:46.860 Kathy Zhu.
00:27:48.240 She's also a
00:27:49.120 woman of
00:27:49.520 color, to use
00:27:50.060 the left's
00:27:50.460 term.
00:27:50.980 She is a
00:27:51.620 Chinese
00:27:51.920 immigrant.
00:27:52.420 She came
00:27:52.720 here at
00:27:53.380 age five.
00:27:53.960 She should
00:27:54.280 check every
00:27:54.880 box that the
00:27:55.540 left is supposed
00:27:56.080 to like,
00:27:56.800 except the
00:27:57.320 left increasingly
00:27:58.560 hates women.
00:28:01.200 I don't know if
00:28:02.080 they're consciously
00:28:02.860 hating women.
00:28:03.480 I'm not accusing
00:28:04.020 them of that.
00:28:04.820 I'm saying the
00:28:05.540 logical conclusion
00:28:06.620 of their
00:28:07.540 perverted
00:28:08.320 ideology is
00:28:09.720 resulting in
00:28:11.100 misogyny.
00:28:12.040 it is saying
00:28:12.880 you, a
00:28:14.060 young
00:28:15.160 immigrant
00:28:16.340 woman of
00:28:17.880 color, we
00:28:19.860 will destroy
00:28:21.120 your reputation
00:28:22.000 and take away
00:28:22.740 your job if
00:28:24.080 you don't
00:28:24.740 refuse, if
00:28:25.800 you don't
00:28:26.300 wear a
00:28:27.840 foreign
00:28:29.140 religious symbol
00:28:30.200 of women's
00:28:30.780 oppression.
00:28:32.000 Think about how
00:28:32.660 crazy that is.
00:28:33.740 This is all in
00:28:34.400 the name of
00:28:35.380 wokeness.
00:28:36.360 Here she is
00:28:36.960 describing what
00:28:38.180 happened.
00:28:39.200 There's a
00:28:39.580 try a hijab
00:28:40.580 on booth at
00:28:41.460 my college
00:28:41.880 campus, so
00:28:42.720 you're telling
00:28:43.200 me that it's
00:28:43.700 now just a
00:28:44.300 fashion accessory
00:28:45.020 and not a
00:28:45.440 religious thing,
00:28:46.260 or are you
00:28:46.940 just trying to
00:28:47.560 get women used
00:28:48.480 to being
00:28:48.780 oppressed under
00:28:49.640 Islam?
00:28:51.380 Again?
00:28:52.080 What would you
00:28:53.820 like to say
00:28:54.120 about that?
00:28:54.600 You don't see
00:28:55.040 how that could
00:28:55.480 be offensive?
00:28:56.900 Not at all.
00:28:57.900 They were, you
00:28:58.520 know, I went
00:28:59.040 past the booth,
00:28:59.980 I was late for
00:29:00.440 class already,
00:29:01.320 they were saying
00:29:01.720 do you want to
00:29:01.960 put on a hijab,
00:29:02.720 putting it over
00:29:03.800 me?
00:29:04.060 I said no, I
00:29:04.960 don't want to, I
00:29:05.460 declined wearing
00:29:06.400 this garment.
00:29:08.360 I think that it's
00:29:09.360 really rude, I
00:29:10.740 feel like, to
00:29:11.460 Muslims too, that
00:29:12.820 to wear their
00:29:13.600 sacred garment on
00:29:14.560 someone who isn't
00:29:15.320 a Muslim
00:29:15.740 themselves.
00:29:16.940 I wouldn't want
00:29:18.100 to put a
00:29:18.860 Catholic rosary on
00:29:19.700 someone if they
00:29:20.160 aren't Catholic.
00:29:21.000 Right, but that's
00:29:21.640 not what you
00:29:22.300 said.
00:29:22.640 What you said, it
00:29:23.320 wasn't that you
00:29:24.080 felt badly for
00:29:25.320 them that you
00:29:27.100 weren't Muslim,
00:29:28.260 it's that you
00:29:28.760 said, or you're
00:29:29.540 just trying to
00:29:30.080 get women used
00:29:30.900 to being oppressed
00:29:31.680 under Islam.
00:29:32.280 Yes, there are
00:29:32.780 so many women in
00:29:34.500 Muslim countries
00:29:35.160 right now who are
00:29:35.840 being stoned to
00:29:36.480 death because they
00:29:37.000 don't want to wear
00:29:38.120 a hijab due to
00:29:38.900 their husband's
00:29:39.900 requirement to
00:29:40.820 do so.
00:29:41.460 And I think that
00:29:41.820 we should be
00:29:42.100 focusing on that
00:29:42.860 way more than the
00:29:44.320 Western things about
00:29:45.460 Muslim because there
00:29:46.660 are so many bad
00:29:47.580 things happening in
00:29:48.500 Muslim countries
00:29:48.940 because of these
00:29:49.900 women and these
00:29:51.620 women are being
00:29:52.340 crucified for not
00:29:53.440 wearing a hijab.
00:29:54.840 And I think that's
00:29:55.400 really, really awful.
00:29:57.480 The hijab is used
00:29:59.080 as a tool of
00:29:59.860 women's oppression
00:30:00.500 all around the
00:30:01.140 world.
00:30:01.380 She's completely
00:30:01.980 correct and this
00:30:02.840 woman on CNN
00:30:03.760 can't believe it.
00:30:04.920 She's shaming her
00:30:06.260 for refusing to
00:30:07.400 wear the hijab,
00:30:08.780 a symbol of a
00:30:09.440 foreign religion
00:30:10.080 in which she
00:30:10.540 doesn't believe
00:30:11.040 used to put down
00:30:11.860 women.
00:30:12.880 We'll get to how
00:30:14.040 this all comes
00:30:15.200 together.
00:30:15.780 I mean, what this
00:30:16.300 really leads to in
00:30:17.260 a very practical
00:30:17.960 political way is the
00:30:19.820 left, which has led
00:30:20.820 Me Too now for
00:30:22.860 how many years,
00:30:24.740 is now coming back
00:30:25.700 around and trying to
00:30:26.800 vindicate, trying to
00:30:28.540 exonerate leftist
00:30:30.120 politicians who got
00:30:31.120 caught up in the
00:30:31.880 Me Too scandal.
00:30:32.740 Shows it for just the
00:30:34.100 absolute hack
00:30:35.600 ideology that it is.
00:30:36.720 We'll get to that
00:30:37.140 in a second, then
00:30:37.860 we'll get to the
00:30:38.300 best new piece of
00:30:39.080 merch of the 2020
00:30:40.200 campaign.
00:30:41.000 We'll get to AOC
00:30:42.180 endorsing open
00:30:42.980 borders.
00:30:43.380 We'll get to
00:30:43.720 everything, but
00:30:44.220 first, next month
00:30:45.520 we are taking our
00:30:46.720 backstage live show

00:32:37.980 Head over to
00:32:38.340 dailywire.com.
00:32:39.140 We'll be right back.
00:32:50.320 So, Miss Michigan
00:32:53.020 refuses to wear this
00:32:54.340 hijab.
00:32:55.960 She says it's a tool of
00:32:58.360 women's oppression.
00:32:59.580 CNN mocks her for it.
00:33:01.060 They smear her as some
00:33:02.100 kind of bigot for it.
00:33:03.940 They don't believe her.
00:33:05.040 They won't accept it.
00:33:05.880 Just as a point of fact,
00:33:09.460 women within the last
00:33:10.920 couple of years have been
00:33:12.300 lashed in Saudi Arabia for
00:33:14.920 refusing to wear not just
00:33:16.000 the hijab, but the entire
00:33:17.840 abaya, that entire body
00:33:19.380 cover.
00:33:19.660 They've been lashed publicly
00:33:21.100 for it.
00:33:22.360 Last year, just in 2018,
00:33:24.580 dozens of women in Iran
00:33:27.100 were arrested for not
00:33:29.140 wearing the hijab in just
00:33:30.340 one roundup.
00:33:31.400 How many other women have
00:33:32.260 been arrested for it?
00:33:34.100 I'm not against head
00:33:35.340 coverings in general.
00:33:36.760 I actually kind of like
00:33:37.860 them.
00:33:38.160 You know, there's the image
00:33:39.520 of Baptist women wearing
00:33:40.940 gigantic hats to church.
00:33:43.540 The Catholics have
00:33:44.360 mantillas.
00:33:44.920 I always love a nice mantilla,
00:33:46.500 good veiled head covering.
00:33:48.100 I'm not opposed to that.
00:33:49.600 What I'm opposed to is
00:33:51.000 lashing and stoning women
00:33:52.980 for not covering their
00:33:54.040 heads in public.
00:33:55.220 I think that's bad.
00:33:57.440 And that is what Miss
00:33:59.300 Michigan is objecting to.
00:34:01.100 And that's just too much
00:34:02.680 for CNN.
00:34:04.400 Because when it comes down
00:34:05.760 to it, when it comes down
00:34:06.800 to the wokeness of
00:34:07.740 supporting feminism and the
00:34:09.360 wokeness of supporting
00:34:10.520 Islam, I mean, that's the
00:34:13.080 new fashion.
00:34:14.920 The left is going to
00:34:15.740 side with Islam.
00:34:17.680 They're always moving the
00:34:19.080 goalpost, aren't they?
00:34:20.060 They're always chasing
00:34:22.080 some new victim group,
00:34:23.320 even if it means they have
00:34:24.040 to throw the old victim
00:34:25.020 group under the bus.
00:34:26.760 We'll examine why.
00:34:27.860 We'll see why in just one
00:34:28.840 second.
00:34:29.160 But first, the most
00:34:29.800 egregious story on this
00:34:30.900 front is about Al Franken.
00:34:33.000 Remember Al Franken?
00:34:34.400 Stuart Smalley from SNL.
00:34:36.780 He was a cast member on
00:34:37.800 SNL and then somehow he got
00:34:39.200 himself elected to the
00:34:40.060 Senate from Minnesota.
00:34:41.160 And then in the tumult of
00:34:43.560 the Me Too era, he got
00:34:44.900 thrown out because he
00:34:45.820 apparently squeezed a
00:34:47.180 couple women on the
00:34:47.900 derriere on campaign
00:34:49.220 stops.
00:34:49.780 Actually, more than a
00:34:50.600 couple women, according
00:34:51.280 to the accusations.
00:34:52.820 And he got thrown out
00:34:54.400 for that.
00:34:55.620 Now, one of the leaders
00:34:57.800 of the Me Too witch
00:34:58.880 hunts, a woman named
00:35:00.020 Jane Meyer, who would
00:35:01.800 write with Ronan Farrow
00:35:02.880 in The New Yorker, she
00:35:04.520 has come out in The New
00:35:05.860 Yorker to defend Al
00:35:08.360 Franken, to try to
00:35:09.260 exonerate Al Franken.
00:35:10.680 You might remember that
00:35:11.660 name, Jane Meyer, as one
00:35:13.120 of the most egregious
00:35:14.720 smear merchants against
00:35:16.340 Brett Kavanaugh during
00:35:17.740 his Supreme Court
00:35:18.500 confirmation hearings.
00:35:19.460 Here is Jane Meyer, who
00:35:21.560 came up with a completely
00:35:23.320 uncorroborated story about
00:35:25.340 Brett Kavanaugh exposing
00:35:26.660 himself one time in a
00:35:28.860 dorm room at Yale at some
00:35:30.420 party.
00:35:31.540 And no evidence of this
00:35:33.440 whatsoever, no corroboration
00:35:35.300 whatsoever.
00:35:35.940 They publish it in The New
00:35:36.700 Yorker.
00:35:37.300 It was criticized by some
00:35:38.860 of us at the time.
00:35:39.980 And she goes on TV and
00:35:41.060 says, no problem
00:35:41.760 whatsoever.
00:35:42.760 The New Yorker admits
00:35:44.120 that they were unable to
00:35:45.660 confirm with other
00:35:47.260 eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh
00:35:48.460 was even present at this
00:35:49.740 party.
00:35:50.240 Why did you print this
00:35:51.200 story?
00:35:52.480 We've got a woman who was
00:35:54.960 a classmate of his at Yale
00:35:56.520 who went on the record to
00:35:58.760 describe her own experience
00:36:00.560 here.
00:36:01.360 And when we started to do
00:36:03.280 more reporting on it, we
00:36:05.080 found another classmate who
00:36:08.440 remembers hearing about it
00:36:09.760 that night or the next day.
00:36:11.820 Oh, so the only
00:36:13.200 corroborating witness, I
00:36:16.100 can't even call him a
00:36:16.760 witness, he's not a
00:36:17.480 witness.
00:36:17.920 The only person that sort
00:36:20.300 of tries to corroborate
00:36:21.480 this is someone who heard
00:36:23.380 about it secondhand.
00:36:25.540 So she's getting it third
00:36:26.620 hand.
00:36:28.440 Complete nonsense.
00:36:30.100 She had heard rumors about
00:36:31.360 Brett Kavanaugh and
00:36:32.180 breathlessly reported it in
00:36:33.820 The New Yorker with no
00:36:34.780 proof whatsoever.
00:36:36.280 Didn't even have the
00:36:37.180 accounts, just hearsay.
00:36:38.120 Now she's defending Al
00:36:39.380 Franken.
00:36:39.900 In a new piece, it's about
00:36:41.040 seven zillion words long.
00:36:42.700 I mean, she clearly took
00:36:43.400 her time on this.
00:36:44.280 The case of Al Franken, a
00:36:45.760 close look at the
00:36:46.420 accusations against the
00:36:47.360 former senator.
00:36:48.720 She writes, quote,
00:36:49.960 Franken's fall was
00:36:51.040 stunningly swift.
00:36:52.520 He resigned only three
00:36:53.620 weeks after Leanne
00:36:54.640 Tweeden, a conservative
00:36:55.980 talk radio host, accused
00:36:57.980 him of having forced an
00:36:59.660 unwanted kiss on her during
00:37:01.500 a 2006 USO tour.
00:37:03.620 Seven more women followed
00:37:04.920 with accusations against
00:37:06.060 Franken.
00:37:06.420 All of them centered on
00:37:07.900 inappropriate touches or
00:37:09.180 kisses.
00:37:09.980 Half the accusers' names
00:37:11.060 still haven't become
00:37:12.000 public.
00:37:13.040 Although both Franken and
00:37:14.140 Tweeden called for an
00:37:14.940 independent investigation
00:37:15.820 into her charges, none
00:37:17.540 took place.
00:37:18.260 The implication, obviously,
00:37:19.320 is that the women are
00:37:20.220 lying.
00:37:20.580 That's why they won't come
00:37:21.380 forward.
00:37:22.180 And Leanne Tweeden is
00:37:23.000 lying because she's a
00:37:24.340 conservative talk show
00:37:25.220 host.
00:37:26.040 Really rich coming from the
00:37:28.080 woman who smeared Brett
00:37:29.020 Kavanaugh.
00:37:30.360 I'm not saying that Al
00:37:32.580 Franken should have
00:37:33.160 resigned or that the
00:37:33.940 accusations against him
00:37:34.880 are true.
00:37:36.160 There is infinitely more
00:37:37.940 evidence against Al
00:37:40.520 Franken than there was
00:37:41.520 against Brett Kavanaugh.
00:37:42.520 There was nothing against
00:37:43.400 Brett Kavanaugh.
00:37:44.740 Some crazy woman said that
00:37:47.200 he pushed her into a room
00:37:48.480 30 years ago and she
00:37:49.520 changed her story five
00:37:50.580 times and demonstrably
00:37:54.820 lied to the Senate.
00:37:58.960 And that's it.
00:37:59.860 And then some other crazy
00:38:00.700 woman came out of the
00:38:01.440 woodwork and then she was
00:38:02.520 represented by Michael
00:38:03.820 Avenatti.
00:38:04.300 She was completely
00:38:05.000 disproven so they tried to
00:38:06.720 shut her up quickly.
00:38:07.840 Then some other woman from
00:38:09.000 Yale came out and said,
00:38:10.300 what?
00:38:10.540 I mean, you know, there was
00:38:11.580 no corroboration, no
00:38:12.480 witnesses, nobody could tell
00:38:14.000 you anything about that
00:38:15.100 other than Jane Meyer
00:38:16.920 hearing it third hand.
00:38:20.220 You know, Jane Meyer talks
00:38:21.640 about how the main accuser
00:38:23.080 against Al Franken was a
00:38:25.840 conservative talk show
00:38:28.120 host.
00:38:28.420 The main accuser against
00:38:30.320 Brett Kavanaugh was a far
00:38:32.220 left wing activist who
00:38:34.140 shut down all of her social
00:38:35.780 media pages because she was
00:38:37.120 constantly posting about how
00:38:38.300 much she hated Donald Trump
00:38:39.340 and hated conservatives.
00:38:41.260 And that information was
00:38:42.300 suppressed during the
00:38:43.200 Kavanaugh debacle.
00:38:44.720 Really, really rich.
00:38:46.520 But she actually doesn't even
00:38:47.520 evade the Kavanaugh
00:38:48.260 comparisons.
00:38:49.140 Jane Meyer, the hack that she
00:38:50.900 is, goes right for them.
00:38:52.200 Quote, the lawyer Deborah
00:38:53.680 Katz, who has represented
00:38:55.100 Christine Blasey Ford and
00:38:56.220 other sexual harassment
00:38:57.120 victims, remains troubled
00:38:58.620 by Franken's case.
00:38:59.920 She contends the allegations
00:39:01.120 leveled against Senator
00:39:02.000 Franken did not warrant his
00:39:03.660 forced expulsion from the
00:39:05.080 Senate, particularly given
00:39:06.440 the context in which most
00:39:08.000 of the behavior occurred,
00:39:09.240 which was in his capacity
00:39:10.460 as a comedian.
00:39:11.440 Oh my gosh.
00:39:12.740 She adds, all offensive
00:39:14.380 behavior should be addressed,
00:39:15.620 but not all offensive behavior
00:39:16.760 warrants the most severe
00:39:18.220 sanction.
00:39:19.740 Katz sees Franken as a
00:39:20.780 cautionary tale for the
00:39:21.660 Me Too movement.
00:39:22.620 To treat all allegations the
00:39:23.980 same is not only
00:39:24.740 inappropriate, it feeds into
00:39:26.360 a backlash narrative that
00:39:27.520 men are vulnerable to even
00:39:28.900 frivolous allegations by
00:39:30.380 women, says the expert in
00:39:33.700 frivolous allegations by
00:39:35.980 women, Deborah Katz.
00:39:37.880 Absolutely outrageous.
00:39:39.940 In the case of Al Franken,
00:39:41.300 there is a photograph of him
00:39:43.300 posing about to grope a
00:39:45.580 sleeping service member.
00:39:49.420 None of that with Brett Kavanaugh.
00:39:51.860 But, but they're hacks.
00:39:53.380 I mean, Franken was forced out.
00:39:54.520 Why was he forced out?
00:39:55.500 Because he was replaceable in
00:39:56.860 Minnesota, Democratic governor.
00:39:58.680 They knew they could replace
00:39:59.420 him with a Democrat.
00:40:01.000 Forced out by Kirsten
00:40:01.800 Gillibrand.
00:40:02.640 She thought she could make
00:40:03.360 her political bones on it.
00:40:05.200 Only he knows what he did.
00:40:06.600 If he really was groping women
00:40:07.940 at every campaign stop,
00:40:09.200 he should leave the Senate.
00:40:11.160 But maybe the allegations
00:40:12.260 weren't true.
00:40:12.940 I don't know.
00:40:13.480 We're in this Me Too madness
00:40:14.820 moment.
00:40:15.920 And, you know, there are
00:40:17.080 plenty of false accusations.
00:40:19.740 It seems reasonable for him to
00:40:21.300 have waited it out if he could
00:40:22.960 have weathered it politically.
00:40:24.340 But it's not reasonable for him
00:40:25.640 to have waited it out when
00:40:27.200 you've got absolute circuses
00:40:30.020 like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
00:40:32.140 It's not reasonable to let
00:40:33.540 Franken off the hook when the
00:40:35.420 left is weaponizing sexual
00:40:37.340 assault charges against men.
00:40:40.200 Not to the benefit of women,
00:40:41.540 just to railroad their own
00:40:43.540 political opponents.
00:40:44.540 This is misogyny.
00:40:45.900 The left is all for women's
00:40:47.120 rights unless a Muslim man
00:40:48.560 objects.
00:40:48.900 The left is all for women's
00:40:50.400 rights unless a man in a dress
00:40:52.060 objects.
00:40:52.940 The left is all for women's
00:40:54.040 rights unless a male
00:40:55.260 democratic politician
00:40:56.540 objects.
00:40:57.720 And like on so many issues,
00:40:59.440 what is this about?
00:41:00.560 It shows that the left
00:41:02.100 doesn't care about women at
00:41:03.300 all.
00:41:03.880 They don't care about their
00:41:04.840 nominal victim classes at
00:41:06.920 all.
00:41:08.500 Particularly with gender
00:41:09.640 ideology, they seem to hold
00:41:10.740 women in contempt.
00:41:13.360 More broadly, what the left
00:41:14.800 does is they use victim
00:41:17.320 groups.
00:41:17.740 In many cases, they create
00:41:18.840 victim groups to divide,
00:41:20.520 to lie emotionally, to lie
00:41:23.220 and emotionally manipulate
00:41:24.340 them into voting for them,
00:41:27.160 into their political
00:41:27.980 purposes.
00:41:28.840 And then when another shiny
00:41:29.760 object comes along, they
00:41:30.920 ditch the previous victim
00:41:32.040 group.
00:41:32.640 I don't use the phrase
00:41:33.600 misogyny lightly, but this
00:41:34.840 is contempt and disdain for
00:41:36.940 womanhood, for women, and for
00:41:38.360 the feminine.
00:41:39.720 Conservatives have a unique
00:41:40.660 opportunity to speak out on
00:41:42.280 this.
00:41:43.160 The way to speak about it, by
00:41:44.760 the way, is to speak from the
00:41:46.000 perspective of beauty, of love
00:41:48.020 for women, not from the
00:41:50.020 necessarily from rights or
00:41:51.880 some political doctrine, but
00:41:52.980 from beauty.
00:41:53.720 You know, conservatives have
00:41:54.520 an advantage when it comes to
00:41:56.700 speaking about beauty on the
00:41:57.960 left, because the left is this
00:41:59.320 rationalistic, cold, clinical,
00:42:01.940 materialistic cult of politics.
00:42:05.840 Conservatives are romantics,
00:42:07.780 basically.
00:42:08.300 We see the beauty and complexity
00:42:09.640 of the world, and we like it.
00:42:10.860 We like the diversity of the
00:42:11.880 world.
00:42:12.660 Edmund Burke, the great founder of
00:42:15.100 modern conservatism, he was an
00:42:17.120 aesthetic philosopher, too.
00:42:19.500 Not an esthetician, though, and
00:42:20.700 he never had to wax any dudes in
00:42:22.000 a dress.
00:42:23.660 Conservatives get beauty better
00:42:24.880 than the left, and I think we
00:42:25.820 can convince people with a
00:42:26.860 little bit of joy, and by
00:42:28.000 showing them the beauty of this
00:42:29.700 world, instead of this crazy,
00:42:31.120 scolding nonsense.
00:42:32.300 You know, the left is imploding
00:42:33.800 on this.
00:42:34.600 They are embracing the least
00:42:36.180 popular ideas in the country,
00:42:38.540 and they are just trying to
00:42:40.920 shame people and cower people
00:42:44.060 into voting for them out of
00:42:45.560 fear.
00:42:45.760 Here's AOC at a campaign event
00:42:47.320 of hers, embracing
00:42:48.420 completely open borders.
00:42:51.220 I think migration, to me,
00:42:55.480 is liberation.
00:42:58.900 It's the ability to move and be.
00:43:03.060 It's the freedom to be, really,
00:43:05.100 is what we're talking about.
00:43:06.580 And I think that all people
00:43:08.480 should be free to be here,
00:43:10.820 and in our communities.
00:43:13.480 Because I think that when you
00:43:15.700 start viewing human beings as
00:43:17.920 intrinsically valuable, you feel
00:43:20.480 blessed that they have come to
00:43:22.320 you with their presence.
00:43:24.140 And that's really, I think, the
00:43:26.580 shift that we need to make as a
00:43:28.160 country.
00:43:28.660 It's the shift to free to be.
00:43:30.480 She's like a, like Dr. Seuss
00:43:33.000 without the talent.
00:43:34.540 We're free to be, to be, to me,
00:43:37.180 to cross into the border illegally.
00:43:40.160 But we're not going to make it
00:43:41.460 illegal.
00:43:41.920 We're going to completely
00:43:43.220 decriminalize border crossings.
00:43:45.520 This is very unpopular.
00:43:47.320 President Trump knows this.
00:43:48.740 He knows how unpopular this is.
00:43:50.420 At the last debate, every single
00:43:51.960 candidate on that democratic stage
00:43:53.460 endorsed free health care for
00:43:55.680 illegal aliens.
00:43:56.560 All their hands go up.
00:43:58.140 Raise your hand if your government
00:43:59.880 plan would provide coverage for
00:44:01.580 undocumented immigrants.
00:44:02.720 Okay, let me start with you,
00:44:08.540 Mayor Buttigieg, why?
00:44:11.360 Mayor Buttigieg, why?
00:44:13.360 Because our country is healthier
00:44:16.180 when everybody is healthier.
00:44:18.560 Okay, all right.
00:44:19.680 Every hand goes up.
00:44:21.340 Everyone.
00:44:21.760 Do you know how popular that
00:44:22.660 proposal is?
00:44:24.240 There's a new poll out right now
00:44:25.400 from NPR, PBS NewsHour, and
00:44:27.200 Marist, which shows that just 33%
00:44:29.880 support health care for illegal
00:44:31.100 laylands of all Americans.
00:44:33.740 Reparations, which is another
00:44:35.000 policy the Democrats are almost
00:44:37.060 universally endorsing.
00:44:38.540 Just 27% of Americans support
00:44:40.840 that.
00:44:42.120 How many people do you think
00:44:43.080 support making immigrant women
00:44:44.560 wax salon workers, wax the male
00:44:48.820 genitals?
00:44:50.720 How many people do you think
00:44:51.720 support that?
00:44:52.380 Like two people in the whole
00:44:53.380 world?
00:44:53.880 How many people do you think
00:44:54.820 support taking scholarships away
00:44:56.560 from high school girls because
00:44:58.620 they're going to force them to
00:45:00.900 compete against men in track?
00:45:02.660 How many people do you think
00:45:03.680 support taking away Miss World
00:45:05.640 USA's, Miss Michigan's crown
00:45:08.640 because she refuses to submit to
00:45:11.600 the hijab?
00:45:13.240 Like two, this is the least popular
00:45:14.840 stuff on earth and Trump knows
00:45:16.480 this.
00:45:17.600 I remember he did this during the
00:45:19.040 campaign in 2016.
00:45:20.760 They were trying to cower him into
00:45:22.060 saying, to not using the word
00:45:24.040 anchor baby.
00:45:24.880 And they said, that word's
00:45:25.520 offensive.
00:45:26.340 And Trump said, what do you want
00:45:27.680 me to use?
00:45:28.520 And the guy, he said, oh, you
00:45:29.860 know, future American dreamer,
00:45:31.980 undocumented dreaming.
00:45:33.460 Trump looks at him like he's
00:45:34.420 stupid and he says, you know, I
00:45:35.580 think I'm going to stick with
00:45:36.320 anchor baby.
00:45:37.180 And people react to that.
00:45:38.940 And he's back.
00:45:39.600 The best piece of merch in 2020,
00:45:41.960 Trump is now selling plastic
00:45:44.780 straws on his website because I
00:45:46.940 don't know about where you live,
00:45:47.860 but where I live here on the left
00:45:49.200 coast, it's now illegal.
00:45:51.380 You can't have straws.
00:45:52.420 You can only have those paper
00:45:53.640 straws that turn into goop within
00:45:55.600 two seconds of whatever you're
00:45:56.760 drinking and they don't work.
00:45:58.120 President Trump is now selling
00:45:59.380 Trump straws, pack of 10.
00:46:01.220 And here's the description.
00:46:02.560 Liberal paper straws don't work.
00:46:04.900 Stand with President Trump, buy
00:46:06.040 your pack of recyclable straws
00:46:07.680 today.
00:46:08.000 This is brilliant.
00:46:09.580 Same with the pronouns.
00:46:10.760 It's an apparently trivial thing,
00:46:12.360 but it actually stands for so much.
00:46:14.860 It is so much in the way of
00:46:16.780 premises.
00:46:17.840 And this is what I think people
00:46:21.640 are reacting to.
00:46:22.480 I mean, this is what I suspect
00:46:23.340 people are reacting to.
00:46:25.600 What kind of government tells you
00:46:29.120 what straws you're allowed to
00:46:32.340 drink your coffee out of or your
00:46:34.560 Coca-Cola?
00:46:35.600 What kind of overbearing government,
00:46:38.740 what kind of absurd government
00:46:40.720 thinks that plastic straws are the
00:46:43.300 biggest problem in the world worth
00:46:45.340 the strength of the state and
00:46:47.740 suppressing people's freedom?
00:46:49.760 What kind of sick government goes in
00:46:52.640 and forces immigrant women to fondle
00:46:55.380 men's genitals because the men say so?
00:46:58.420 What kind of sick government does that?
00:47:02.320 What kind of sick government comes in
00:47:04.140 and says, open borders, anybody can come in.
00:47:06.580 I don't care what you people think.
00:47:07.780 I don't care what you people want.
00:47:09.480 That's this fantasy, this leftist fantasy,
00:47:12.880 which is now, ironically, the left
00:47:14.620 prattles on about the war on women.
00:47:16.060 The left has become misogynistic because
00:47:18.280 they ditch their old victim groups.
00:47:19.660 They just move on and embrace further
00:47:22.140 fantasy after fantasy after fantasy.
00:47:24.800 What President Trump is doing is he's
00:47:27.040 not campaigning on some broad health
00:47:29.640 care proposal.
00:47:30.340 He's not campaigning on some really
00:47:32.180 specific tax proposal that all the
00:47:34.640 wonks at all the think tanks have
00:47:36.900 passed approval on.
00:47:40.220 He's campaigning on, hey,
00:47:43.420 immigrant women shouldn't have to wax
00:47:45.560 men's genitals.
00:47:46.660 Hey, you should be able to drink your
00:47:48.540 Coca-Cola out of a straw.
00:47:50.980 Hey, we should be able to have borders
00:47:53.180 because this is a country.
00:47:54.080 He's campaigning on the most basic
00:47:55.660 elements, the most basic intuitions of
00:47:59.620 a people in a free, self-governing
00:48:01.540 society.
00:48:02.760 But in this bizarro fantasy land of
00:48:05.460 extreme leftism, none of that is
00:48:07.820 permitted anymore.
00:48:09.020 And so when President Trump says very
00:48:10.940 basic things such as that, it's deemed
00:48:12.920 politically incorrect.
00:48:14.020 And I think he's got his finger on the
00:48:16.980 pulse of the people in this way.
00:48:18.120 The only question is, can he keep his
00:48:19.520 foot out of his mouth long enough to
00:48:21.300 not offend those who might be able to
00:48:23.260 come over and be his allies?
00:48:25.520 Because the way that conservatives are
00:48:27.340 going to win is not by talking in some
00:48:29.840 highly technical egghead kind of terms.
00:48:32.240 It's going to be by talking about basic
00:48:33.500 things.
00:48:34.480 Goodness, truth, beauty.
00:48:36.660 Those basic intuitions and longings we
00:48:38.740 have.
00:48:39.180 Right now we're doing it well.
00:48:41.060 And if the Democratic primary debates are
00:48:43.860 any indication, I think we're going to keep
00:48:45.460 doing it well going into 2020.
00:48:46.980 But we'll have to see all more tomorrow.
00:48:48.960 In the meantime, I'm headed to D.C.
00:48:50.800 I'll be speaking at TPUSA and I'll be
00:48:53.060 speaking at YAF and I'll be hanging around
00:48:54.620 the Capitol.
00:48:55.180 So come say hey if I see you around there.
00:48:57.280 In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles.
