00:00:00.000We're going to talk about everything Google Memo related.
00:00:03.000We're going to talk about the fact that there are a bunch of people who think that Colin Kaepernick must, must, must be hired back into the NFL.
00:00:09.000Plus, the greatest ad you'll ever see for gay rights from the Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:00:23.000Oh, we have many things to get to today, and I will be discussing all of the things that have to do with this Google memo that we went through in depth yesterday here on the program.
00:00:30.000I will be spitting hot fire like one of Danny's dragons on Game of Thrones, incinerating entire lines of enemy troops, but...
00:00:38.000Before we do any of that, first I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Bolton Branch.
00:00:42.000So as you know, because I've said it a thousand times at this point, I suck at sleeping.
00:00:46.000That means that when I get into my bed at night, it must be comfortable, it must be wonderful, it must be the greatest bed that ever was.
00:00:52.000And that means the sheets have to be really good.
00:00:53.000So people tend to think about all the other aspects of sleeping, but you never think about your sheets.
00:00:57.000You just go over to the local department store and you pick up the one that has the highest thread count, because you don't know what that means, and then you put it on your bed and it turns out you're sleeping on a plastic tarp.
00:01:05.000Well, that's why you need to go over to BullAndBranch.com.
00:01:08.000Their sheets are so good that they are all I will buy now for me, for my children.
00:01:45.000For free, go to bullandbranch.com today, and you'll get $50 off your first set of sheets, plus free shipping when you use that promo code, Ben.
00:01:52.000You buy the sheets, you bring them home, try them for 30 days, see if you like them, I promise you're gonna love them.
00:01:56.000There's no way you're gonna wanna return them.
00:02:27.000That's what helps send our ratings skyrocketing.
00:02:30.000We are now number two overall behind Oprah.
00:02:31.000Come on, guys, we can't lose to Oprah.
00:02:33.000I mean, I know she's gonna give you a car, and you a car, and you a car.
00:02:37.000We're not gonna give you a car, but we will give you the satisfaction of having defeated Oprah if we eventually take over the number one slot, so go ahead and check that out.
00:02:44.000Okay, so, on to the situation over at Google.
00:02:48.000So last night, Google decided that they had to fire their employee, the evil, evil employee who suggested in a memo that Google was leftist and close-minded.
00:02:59.000Which is weird, since if you don't want to prove that you're leftist and closed-minded, perhaps you shouldn't fire the guy who says you're leftist and closed-minded.
00:03:13.000And Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the 10-page memo had, quote, violated the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.
00:03:22.000To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not okay.
00:03:28.000I love when the left uses the phrase, not okay, because what they really mean by that is, we should take you out at sunrise to the stake and light you on fire.
00:03:36.000Not okay is their understated way of saying, you're a Nazi and we should beat the crap out of you.
00:03:42.000But here is the problem, just as with the rest of the media.
00:03:47.000Nothing in the memo says that women as a group are less biologically suited to being in tech.
00:03:53.000There's nothing in the memo that says that.
00:03:55.000Okay, so the media obviously didn't read the memo, and so now they are simply attempting to make up what they wish the memo said, because it's easier to make a case that the guy should be fired if you make up what he said.
00:04:05.000So here are some of the things that it didn't say.
00:04:12.000First, it said that Google had a leftist bias, which prevented them from hearing other viewpoints.
00:04:17.000Obviously true, because you just fired the guy who said you had a leftist bias.
00:04:21.000Second, it said that part, not all, but part of the discrepancy in employment between men and women at Google was attributable not to sexism, but to large-scale group differences between men and women.
00:04:31.000Again, this makes perfect sense, and is obviously true, in the same way that it is true that the wage gap is largely explained in the United States by different choice of jobs, different amount of time that women want to spend in the workplace.
00:04:42.000That's not to say that an individual woman can't outperform a man.
00:04:45.000It's not to say that an individual woman can't perform the same job a man can do, depending on the job.
00:04:49.000It is to say that group differences do make a difference when you're looking at aggregate, when you're looking at the aggregate.
00:04:55.000And finally, the memo said, Google should actually try to make employment easier for women, in general, through a series of non-illegal means.
00:05:01.000In other words, not through hiring quotas and diversity quotas, but through making it more attractive for women to be at Google.
00:05:07.000Does any of that sound radical to you?
00:05:10.000And I mean you personally, I don't mean on average.
00:05:12.000I mean if you actually think that's a horrible thing that's in this memo, then you are a stupid person.
00:05:15.000But the media are just lying about what this memo actually said.
00:05:18.000So first of all, they're lying about people like me, who I say that the memo is fine, and that Google is ridiculous for having fired the guy.
00:05:25.000So Newsweek ran a piece today saying, the alt-right kicks back against Google.
00:05:30.000The alt-right, do they even know who I am?
00:05:32.000I was the number one target of the alt-right according to the Anti-Defamation League last year.
00:06:07.000The media can't comprehend a basic, basic truth, okay?
00:06:11.000When I say a group on average is different from another group on average, that does not mean that individuals in that group can be outstanding.
00:06:18.000Okay, and it does not mean that they can't be outstanding.
00:06:20.000Individuals in the group can be outstanding.
00:06:23.000The fact is, if I say 7-year-olds, as an average, are not as smart as 15-year-olds, that doesn't mean that every 7-year-old is not as smart as a 15-year-old.
00:06:31.000It means, on average, they're dumber than 15-year-olds.
00:06:33.000There may be a 7-year-old who's a genius and is as smart as some 15-year-olds.
00:06:36.000That doesn't mean that 7-year-olds and 15-year-olds have the same average level of intelligence.
00:06:40.000Okay, but the media, because they're morons, collectively, right?
00:06:43.000I'm saying on average, the media are morons.
00:06:45.000Not individually, every one of them is a moron, but collectively they're morons.
00:06:48.000Okay, when they say that the guy is arguing that women are unfit for tech, what he's actually saying is women on average are different from men.
00:06:56.000Not that this particular woman is different from this particular man.
00:07:08.000He says, I'm not saying that all men differ from all women in the following ways or that these differences are just.
00:07:14.000I'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes, and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership.
00:07:24.000Many of these differences are small, and there's significant overlap between men and women, so you can't say anything about an individual given these population-level distributions.
00:07:33.000Okay, so, but according to the left, this means that what he's saying is that every woman is worse than every man in tech.
00:07:39.000Okay, that's clearly not what he is saying.
00:07:40.000The reason that it is important to look at averages is because when you're looking at statistical averages with regard to wages, when you're aggregating data, you have to look at all of the relevant confounding factors.
00:07:50.000Okay, you'd be a bad social scientist if you failed to do this.
00:07:53.000He reiterates this point later in the memo.
00:07:55.000He says, I'm not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles.
00:07:59.000I'm advocating for quite the opposite.
00:08:00.000Treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group.
00:08:04.000So what he's saying is, Google, you say that we need to hire more women.
00:08:07.000And what I'm saying to you is, why don't we just hire more qualified people?
00:08:11.000Why don't we just base it on their individual qualifications?
00:08:13.000Why does it have to be we need to hire more women?
00:08:15.000You cannot simultaneously, if you're Google, hold these two thoughts at the same time.
00:08:19.000It is deeply important that we hire lots of women because women make the workplace more diverse.
00:08:23.000And women are identical to men in all relevant respects.
00:08:27.000You can't hold those two things simultaneously.
00:09:04.000He's explicitly saying what they're saying that he's not saying, right?
00:09:07.000He's explicitly saying you can't judge individuals by group differences, but group differences do make a difference when you're analyzing the data, which of course is true.
00:09:15.000This chart is basically showing what I told you yesterday, for those who missed it.
00:09:18.000What I said yesterday is that what this chart shows is that women, on average, probably score very similarly to men with regard to tech, but when it comes to the outlayers, when it comes to, you know, the ends of the spectrum, there's a thicker end for men, meaning that there are more men who are in the upper echelon than women who are in the upper echelon, even if the averages are very similar.
00:09:38.000Okay, so that's the first thing the media is telling you about this memo that is not true, that he is saying that all women are unqualified for tech
00:09:45.000Doesn't say that anywhere in the memo.
00:09:46.000And all that's happening here is that the media are, they've come up with a preconceived notion, which is that this guy is a sexist, and now they're going to work to turn him into a sexist.
00:09:59.000Okay, D'Amour says, this is literally the first words of the memo, I value diversity and inclusion.
00:10:05.000In fact, he offers an entire section of his memo devoted to, quote, non-discriminatory ways to reduce the gender gap.
00:10:11.000He suggests that Google make software engineering more people-oriented with pair programming and more collaboration, because women enjoy emotional connection more than men, allow those exhibiting cooperative behavior to thrive, make tech and leadership less stressful, and allowing and truly endorsing as part of our culture part-time work.
00:10:27.000All of this would definitely make Google a more attractive place for women to work.
00:10:32.000One of the things about women in the workplace is that women tend to want to work part-time more than men because when they have kids, they want to spend more time at home with the kids.
00:10:42.000Okay, Demore says he believes that arbitrary social engineering of tech just to make it appealing to equal portions of both men and women would be foolish, but if there's a goal of helping the company succeed, and having more women would help us do that, then we should definitely try and create a culture where this thrives.
00:10:56.000Does that sound like someone who wants fewer women in the workplace?
00:10:59.000Or does it sound like someone who just wants to get rid of quotas based on sex?
00:11:03.000This guy just wants to get rid of quotas based on sex, but he suggests ways that you can make the workplace more attractive to women.
00:11:08.000Okay, the other thing the media says that this guy says that he doesn't say, okay, they're lying about it.
00:11:13.000They say that Damore said that sexism doesn't exist.
00:11:17.000This is a direct quote from the memo, quote,
00:11:22.000Quote, I hope it's clear that I'm not saying that diversity is bad, that Google or society is 100% fair, that we shouldn't try to correct for existing biases, or that minorities have the same experience of those in the majority.
00:11:32.000My larger point is that we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don't fit a certain ideology.
00:11:36.000The final lie that the media have been telling about this memo, and it's being told by people on the left also, is that the memo promotes violence.
00:11:42.000The memo is in some way making people feel uncomfortable.
00:11:46.000First of all, as I mentioned yesterday, when we talked about the response of the diversity and inclusion officer at Google, when she says, some truths are uncomfortable, it's funny, this guy's truths make people uncomfortable, but that's bad, we have to fire him.
00:11:58.000But if you make him uncomfortable, that's fine, and he just has to go along with the program.
00:12:05.000He says, quote, the same compassion for those seen as weak creates political correctness, which constrains discourse and is complacent to the extremely sensitive PC authoritarians that use violence and shaming to advance their cause.
00:12:17.000While Google hasn't harbored the violent leftist protests that we're seeing in universities, the frequent shaming in TGIF and in our culture has created the same silent, psychologically unsafe environment.
00:12:27.000So he's making the case against violence.
00:12:28.000He's saying if you keep attributing motives to people without any sort of rationale, then you're going to want to get violent with them more often.
00:12:37.000He's basically saying what's happening in college campuses could come to Google.
00:13:30.000A senior software engineer reportedly has been fired by Google after a memo he wrote criticizing diversity initiatives was leaked and sparked protests on social media.
00:13:38.000Another software engineer who used to work for Google, Kelly Ellis, says some women who still work at the company stayed home on Monday because the memo made them, quote, uncomfortable going back to work.
00:13:50.000So, your entire case is that women are no different from men in their emotional state, and women are no different from men on average, and yet, when a memo comes out about the differences between women and men, women stay home for emotional reasons.
00:14:05.000This entire story was created to make conservatives look good.
00:14:11.000Like, if you want to prove him right on every score, that women are different from men on average, that Google has a leftist bias and they kill everyone who gets in their way, all you have to do is, this story makes it clear that all of this is true.
00:14:23.000Okay, before I go any further, I want to talk about
00:14:26.000How this sort of mentality is now infusing all of society and dividing us from one another.
00:14:30.000I first want to say thank you to our sponsors over at the USCCA.
00:14:32.000So, after two years just the other day, an army that was finally acquitted of homicide charges after a jury found his use of deadly force to be justified under Colorado's Castle Doctrine.
00:14:41.000The Castle Doctrine is the law that says if someone invades your house, then you can defend your property and your life.
00:14:47.000Now, let me tell you the story, because once you hear the story, you'll be surprised this ever went to trial.
00:14:51.000Sergeant Michael Galvin is a 12-year Army vet, and he shot an intruder in 2015 after the intruder lunged at him.
00:14:58.000Because left-wingers say that Sergeant Galvin didn't have the right to defend himself because the intruder was in his garage, not his home.
00:15:19.000The USCCA believes everyone has the right to protect themselves no matter where they are, which is why they want to give you a chance to win a brand new gun when you activate your USCCA membership before midnight tonight.
00:15:59.000This is not the only story about corporate attempts to crack down on the right.
00:16:05.000Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more common.
00:16:08.000We saw just a couple of days ago, we talked about the story with Lena Dunham trying to out a couple of American Airlines employees who were supposedly talking about how
00:16:38.000Again, Google has the right to fire anyone.
00:16:40.000American Airlines has the right to fire anyone it wants.
00:16:42.000But, if we can't live in a society where we acknowledge that differences of view generally do not mean that you should be fired, then it's going to be very hard to live in this society.
00:16:51.000Now, I will say there's an exception, okay?
00:16:53.000If somebody who's left-wing comes to work at Daily Wire, and then they start promulgating left-wing views,
00:16:58.000I think that that's perfectly within bounds for me to say, you don't represent our company, you gotta go.
00:17:05.000Google's entire company is based around the idea of information being shared among lots of people.
00:17:10.000Well, just because they don't like the information that's being shared, that doesn't mean that you can just dump people, especially because we're not even talking about, in this case, a guy actually writing a memo saying women shouldn't be working at Google, right?
00:17:19.000I mean, there you could at least say, okay, this creates a hostile work environment.
00:17:22.000There's nothing in the memo that creates a hostile work environment, they just
00:17:42.000He was the worst rated quarterback in the NFL last year.
00:17:45.000He was demoted so that he was playing behind some other garbage quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, and finally he was let go.
00:17:51.000And the popular media line has been that Colin Kaepernick was let go because he knelt for the National Anthem, not because he's a crappy garbage quarterback.
00:17:59.000So now the Dolphins, the Miami Dolphins,
00:18:02.000Their quarterback, a guy named Ryan Tannenbaum, I believe, he's injured and they had to pick up another quarterback.
00:18:12.000Okay, Jay Cutler, I'm a Chicago Bears fan.
00:18:14.000Jay Cutler is the most disappointing quarterback in Chicago Bears history.
00:18:18.000He came in with his stellar reputation for having a gun of an arm, which he does, but he was not a good decision maker in the pocket and so he threw lots of interceptions.
00:18:27.000He was sort of a middling quarterback in terms of QBR, in terms of quarterback rating.
00:18:30.000He was not, like, on the very low end of the spectrum, he was not the best quarterback in the league, but he certainly was not Colin Kaepernick-quality bad.
00:18:36.000The Dolphins picked him up, and naturally, the media are now suggesting that the NFL must force some team to take Colin Kaepernick.
00:18:43.000Here is Shannon Sharpe over at Fox Sports 1 making this case.
00:18:46.000Shannon, is this a good move or a bad move by the Dolphins?
00:19:25.000I wonder if Jay Cutler called the Miami Dolphins and said, I want to play.
00:19:30.000And then this narrative about Kap says, OK, well, he wants too much money.
00:19:34.000It's amazing how the Miami Dolphins found $10 million for a guy, a retired guy, not a guy that last through a pass in January, a retired guy.
00:20:27.000But Sharpe is not the only person who's saying that politics ought to infuse the gridiron.
00:20:32.000Stephen A. Smith is saying the same thing, saying the NFL should actually cram down on teams.
00:20:36.000They should find some team to cram down Kaepernick on.
00:20:40.000That there's going to be an uproar and uprising to some degree, and I think that the NFL is going to feel compelled to make sure that this man has a job.
00:20:48.000Yes, you have the naysayers and the detractors, and you certainly understand that there are no African American owners in the sport of the National Football League, that a vast majority of them are white, as opposed to Shad Khan, who's in Jacksonville in East Pakistan.
00:21:03.000I think I remember him being Pakistan.
00:21:46.000We need to have him signed by a team because he was openly gay and came out right before the draft and was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and so it was impossible that the NFL wouldn't engage in this.
00:21:54.000Again, it's hilarious to watch the left spin itself in circles over dictating to private businesses what they can and must do, okay?
00:22:00.000So according to the left, it is a must to force a religious baker to cater a gay wedding.
00:23:33.000Instead of buying a cheap disposable razor or spending a fortune on really expensive razors,
00:23:38.000Instead, you can use your DSC Executive razor with their Dr. Carver's Shave Butter, and the blade just glides gently, and it gives you a really smooth shave.
00:23:46.000So, Orthodox Jews, we can't shave above the jawline with the straight edge, but I use it underneath my chin every single day, and it is just glorious.
00:23:53.000It is the best razor that I have ever used, and you can get it when you go to Dollar Shave Club,
00:23:57.000Also, they send you these new razors every month, so that means that you are going to never be shaving with a dull blade.
00:24:02.000How many times have you had the dull blade, you forgot to go to the store and pick up the razors, and now you're stuck taking basically a butter knife and shaving yourself with it?
00:24:11.000So, there's no need for that with Dollar Shave Club.
00:24:14.000Right now, for a limited time, new members get their first month of the Executive Razor with a tube of their Dr. Carver Shave Butter for just $5 with free shipping.
00:24:21.000After that raises just a few bucks a month.
00:25:08.000I want to move on to talk a little bit about, first of all, final note on all of this attempt by the left to infuse all of our businesses with politics.
00:25:16.000The more they do this, the more society is going to become polarized.
00:25:19.000Right now, even last year, we all watched the NFL together.
00:25:23.000It's something we could talk about at the water cooler.
00:25:24.000It is important that in America we have things that are water cooler talk.
00:25:28.000It is very important that we in the United States have stuff that we can talk about with each other, even if we disagree about politics.
00:25:33.000And if we don't do that, it actually destroys the public discourse.
00:25:36.000That's what happened with the NFL, with Colin Kaepernick.
00:25:38.000People couldn't talk with each other about the NFL without devolving into a conversation about police brutality and race for no apparent reason.
00:25:46.000And it was very polarized along racial lines.
00:25:48.000Now you're seeing the same with Google.
00:25:49.000You're going to see conservatives who say, OK, I'm no longer going to use Google Chrome.
00:25:52.000Instead, I'm going to be downloading Safari or some other browser, and I'm going to use that.
00:25:58.000We're going to be using different sources of information because Google is felt to have a bias, which they clearly do.
00:26:03.000There's going to be companies that are started to fight that bias.
00:26:06.000This already exists on the right with a bunch of other web companies.
00:26:10.000This is why the entire conservative web media exists.
00:26:22.000It would be a better thing if everybody were just honest in their reporting instead of lying about everything.
00:26:26.000Okay, so in just a second, I want to get to everything Trump-related and a big lesson for President Trump that is coming from this week that I think is a really good lesson for President Trump, if he's willing to take it.
00:26:35.000But for that, you're going to have to go over to dailywire.com.
00:26:38.000So first of all, if you listen up in just a few minutes, I guess about half an hour now, 45 minutes, you should stick around for Andrew Klavan's show.
00:26:46.000If you subscribe to dailywire.com at $9.99 a month, you can watch that entire thing live.
00:27:31.000In fact, I just got this letter I want to read you about this legendary tumbler, because it's hilarious and it just came in literally 32 minutes ago.
00:27:38.000The stories I have heard about this fine piece of art, forged in Valhalla by the Hammer of Thor, the one tumbler to rule them all, are enough to desire to have one of my own.
00:27:46.000I will place it over my fireplace, praise it, show my children and grandchildren as a symbol of an everlasting fight between good and evil, and eventually, when my eyes close for the last time, I will have my ashes poured into this greatest of all containers, to be one with it for all eternity.
00:27:59.000Okay, I just have to thank Michal for that wonderful description of the Tumblr.
00:28:04.000I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:29:03.000He's not grabbing people like Anthony Scaramucci from his American psycho coke den and bringing him in and using him as his communications guy.
00:29:12.000We're not getting the chaos every time Trump opens his mouth.
00:29:28.000If Trump isn't providing content, we'll get content from somewhere else.
00:29:32.000The content this week for Trump has been quite good.
00:29:34.000Yesterday, or the day before, Monday, there was a 15-0 UN resolution that was passed to create new sanctions on North Korea, including China and Russia voting for it.
00:29:44.000That's a major accomplishment by the Trump administration.
00:29:46.000Today, the Daily Mail is reporting, and so is the Washington Post, quote, The war against ISIS has taken dramatic strides since Donald Trump became president, with the U.S.
00:29:54.000and its allies reclaiming swaths of Iraq and Syria.
00:29:57.000In fact, of all the land reclaimed by the U.S.-led coalition since 2014,
00:30:01.000Nearly one-third has been taken since Trump took office.
00:30:04.000That's thanks to Trump's decision to delegate decisions and engage in a campaign of annihilation, Brett McGurk, the State Department senior envoy to the Anti-Islamic State Coalition, told the Washington Post.
00:30:14.000Since its peak in early 2015, ISIS has lost 78% of its occupied territories in Iraq and 58% in Syria.
00:30:22.000In total, that is 27,000 square miles of territory, 8,000 of which has been taken since February of this year.
00:30:28.000So, what should this teach President Trump?
00:30:55.000Trump's tweets make his presidency eminently weaker.
00:30:57.000If you were just to go quiet, and to starve the media of material, then all that would happen is that the media would be forced to actually cover the news.
00:31:05.000They'd actually be forced to cover the news.
00:31:07.000And they'd look more and more desperate.
00:31:31.000I spoke to the executive director of this mosque earlier today, and he was saying that the relations that they enjoy with the community are generally strong.
00:32:29.000Why is that becoming a modern-day swastika?
00:32:30.000First of all, we don't have any evidence he did that.
00:32:32.000I mean, maybe his suggestion here seems to be that there are people who are alt-righters who use Trump as their stand-in, but, like, that's such an exaggeration.
00:33:21.000All the divisions on the right regarding Trump, they go away when Trump does good things and when the left is crazy, okay?
00:33:26.000These are the things that unify the right.
00:33:28.000If you want a unified right, what you want is Trump to do positive things, and you want the left to continue acting the way that they're acting at places like Google.
00:33:35.000Shutting down debate, making people on the right, making moderates feel threatened, right?
00:35:46.000It is a nonfiction book about this guy named Whitaker Chambers who testified against the Alger Hiss.
00:35:52.000Alger Hiss was a top State Department official in the FDR and Truman administrations, and it turned out that he was actually a Soviet spy.
00:36:00.000Whittaker Chambers knew about it, and was slandered by the press, and called a liar, and his life was threatened by the Communist Party, and it's all about what the Communist Party actually was doing in the United States, and how the left essentially lent them cover.
00:36:24.000So, I have to say that I love this so much.
00:36:26.000So, Royal Dutch Airlines, as I said before,
00:36:29.000I don't see the need for corporations to politicize themselves, but they all seem to feel the need to make everything political now, which irritates me because I just want to fly my airline.
00:36:37.000I don't want to hear about gay propaganda or transgender propaganda.
00:37:18.000If you're sitting there trying to insert the buckle into the buckle, you will die while the plane becomes turbulent at 30,000 feet.
00:37:25.000If you're trying to insert the insert into the insert, then everything will go dark for you as your head smashes into the overhead compartment during turbulence.
00:37:36.000So, thank you for making the biological case in favor of heterosexuality, Royal Dutch Airlines, in your inane and stupid attempts to demonstrate to the world just how tolerant and diverse you are.
00:37:51.000Speaking of ridiculous gay propaganda that goes wrong, this gay clothing company is now trying to, no joke, trying to restore the swastika to its original symbolism as an element of peace.
00:39:09.000So, I only hope that one day when the gay swastika flies above companies that have fired all of the religious people, that we can understand that peace, love, and zen were all with the swastika.
00:39:19.000The happiest person in the world today is John Nolte, who's been talking about the gay swastika for years with regard to companies destroying religious people's lives who don't decide to participate in same-sex weddings.
00:40:02.000Sometimes a symbol is so poisoned that you might just want to let it go.
00:40:05.000The same people, I assume, who are in favor of the swastika, I'd like to see them try to reclaim the confederate flag next, since apparently we have decided the confederate flag is the root of all evil in the United States.
00:40:24.000Okay, time for a couple of things that I hate.
00:40:31.000Okay, so Stephen Colbert last night spends his time going after Eric Bolling.
00:40:35.000Eric Bolling has been suspended from his show The Specialist on Fox News after allegations of sexual harassment against guests.
00:40:41.000And here's Stephen Colbert playing high and mighty with Eric Bolling.
00:40:45.000The Huffing Po is reporting that a co-host of The Specialists, and guy who's cologne you can smell through the TV, Eric Bolling, sent co-workers an unsolicited photo of male genitalia via text message.
00:41:39.000How do you forget sending someone your bits and pieces?
00:41:42.000Okay, so, obviously Colbert and the rest of the left media, oh my god, look at Eric Bolling, it's so terrible.
00:41:46.000Okay, so I would just like to remind people, and it is, by the way, if he's texting his genitals unsolicited to people, that is sexual harassment and it's disgusting, okay?
00:41:55.000Now, with that said, Stephen Colbert took over for, does anyone remember?
00:41:59.000David Letterman, yes, David Letterman.
00:42:01.000Okay, David Letterman told the audience openly on his show that he had sexual relationships with female staffers on his staff, adding that he'd forked over a bogus $2 million check as part of an extortion plot on the matter.
00:42:25.000But I just find it a little ironic that people in Hollywood are willing to forego ripping their leftist colleagues engaged in sexual harassment.
00:42:31.000Like, a little consistency would be good.
00:42:33.000I am not in favor of sexual harassment.
00:42:34.000If somebody on the right does it, like if Eric Bolling did it, he should not have a job.
00:42:46.000Now let's do a little bit of deconstructing the culture.
00:42:49.000So, deconstructing the culture today, ABC News and the Associated Press are pushing very, very hard this new idea that young, tiny children should be able to determine their own gender.
00:43:54.000Once you get to twelve, I think that we can start having conversations about, you know, whether you are experiencing gender dysphoria.
00:44:00.000At the age of four, if you're a parent sending your four-year-old to a camp that is reinforcing gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria, whichever term you choose to use, you are doing something deeply wrong.
00:44:12.000It is insane, insane to suggest that a four-year-old is capable of deciding his or her sex.
00:44:19.000That's utterly crazy, and parents who are doing this are doing something deeply sinful, something deeply nasty to their own child.
00:44:24.000It is your job to guide your child, this idea that your child is supposed to lead you into something like sexual identity, when they have no clue what sex is, have no idea what their genitals are for, don't have hormones, okay?
00:44:38.000He says, the enrollment has tripled to about 60 young campers.
00:44:41.000This is demonstrative of the fact, by the way, this is true across the board.
00:44:43.000It's true in Australia, it's true in Great Britain.
00:44:45.000Every place where the transgender movement has started to push, what they've seen is an enormous number, the number of kids who are now looking to transition has skyrocketed dramatically.
00:44:55.000Now what the left would say is, all these people were just waiting to transition and now society's become more accepting and you're seeing more of this behavior.
00:45:00.000Okay, or it is possible that gender confusion can be created by environment, or exacerbated by environment.
00:45:08.000This notion that the environment has nothing to do with sexual identity or sexual orientation or sexual behavior is just asinine.
00:45:28.000And to pretend that small children, four-year-olds, should be going to camps where they are encouraged to revel in gender confusion is purely disgusting.
00:45:36.000It's purely disgusting, particularly since, statistically speaking, 80% of small children who suffer from even gender identity disorder, right, actually suffer from it, grow out of it by the time they hit puberty.
00:45:46.000So just, what a terrible society we're creating when we suggest that children ought to be making decisions about their own sex lives, but adults ought to be abdicating on that score.
00:45:58.000The article continues, talking about a six-year-old, Gracie Maxwell, was dancing in the sunshine as a Miley Cyrus song blasted from outdoor speakers.
00:46:04.000The freckled blue-eyed blonde wore her hair in a braid on one side.
00:46:21.000Living in liberal-minded Bay Area made it easier.
00:46:23.000The Maxwells found a transgender playgroup, sought specialists, and had a four-year-old like Gracie grow her hair, dress as a girl, and eventually change her name.
00:46:38.000The one on the right with the multicolored hair here?
00:46:40.000Yeah, it's a decision by the parents to allow this kind of stuff.
00:46:44.000It's a decision by the parents to revel in this kind of stuff and make themselves feel better as parents of this kind of stuff.
00:46:48.000Listen, I wouldn't want to be a parent who has a kid who has to deal with gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder, but for me to abdicate the decision to the four-year-old is just
00:47:03.000This, unfortunately, is going to continue because the left is fully ensconced in its own navel-gazing with regard to the new civil rights movement it's created for itself.
00:47:11.000It's not a civil rights movement at all.
00:47:13.000It's a way of destroying childhood innocence.
00:47:14.000Okay, so we'll be back here tomorrow to talk about more fallout, I'm sure, from Google and the latest in the news.
