Summary

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action in the U.S. v. California ruling, the left is quick to point the finger at the Asian-American community. But is there any truth behind the so-called "anti-Asian" hysteria? And is it really as simple as that? Megyn talks to Mark Stein, host of The Mark Stein Show, to find out.

00:00:02.860 Someone is trying to frame us.
00:00:05.160 Until our names are cleared.
00:00:07.720 We're fugitives from Interpol.
00:00:09.480 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.
00:00:12.880 Espionage?
00:00:13.560 You still as good a shot as you used to be?
00:00:16.600 Better.
00:00:17.400 Is there love language?
00:00:18.860 We like to walk that fine line between techno-thriller
00:00:21.380 and romantic comedy.
00:00:24.180 We make up our own rules.

00:00:30.660 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:32.560 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:41.740 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:00:43.440 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:44.960 Later today, we're going to get to these violent riots
00:00:48.580 happening overseas.
00:00:50.280 What a time for France.
00:00:51.840 I just left there.
00:00:53.080 All hell broke loose.
00:00:54.580 So we'll get to what it means
00:00:56.100 and how it may dovetail into some of the things
00:00:58.020 we've seen in our own country over the past few years.
00:01:00.700 But we begin today with the fallout
00:01:02.780 from the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings last week.
00:01:05.320 It continued over the weekend
00:01:06.680 with some hysterical press reaction
00:01:09.080 related to affirmative action.
00:01:11.940 Asians were apparently never being discriminated against,
00:01:15.780 according to the mainstream media.
00:01:17.220 It was just the evil white people
00:01:19.540 who led them to falsely believe that.
00:01:22.680 It's always great to talk to my friend Mark Stein,
00:01:24.940 host of The Mark Stein Show,
00:01:26.400 which is available everywhere,
00:01:28.600 and on Stein, S-T-E-Y-N, online.com.
00:01:33.440 Mark, welcome back to the show.
00:01:34.980 Hey, great to be with you, Megyn.
00:01:37.160 Great to have you.
00:01:38.080 So it's so crazy when you read the reaction
00:01:40.820 to the Supreme Court saying
00:01:42.300 affirmative action will be struck down,
00:01:45.660 race-based admissions policies
00:01:47.440 are contrary to the Equal Protection Clause
00:01:49.840 of the Constitution,
00:01:51.300 and the left reacting with,
00:01:53.900 there was never any discrimination.
00:01:55.780 It's just the evil white people
00:01:57.520 who led the Asians to believe that.
00:02:00.180 Before I play you some of the soundbites,
00:02:01.920 let me read you what at least one honest writer
00:02:04.840 in The New Yorker said explicitly,
00:02:08.240 all right, so they've already given up the game.
00:02:09.840 Some lefties have already admitted,
00:02:11.640 yes, we've been doing it.
00:02:12.920 Here's the truth.
00:02:14.180 Saying the evidence the plaintiffs had a mask
00:02:16.060 that Harvard in particular
00:02:17.140 discriminated against Asian applicants
00:02:18.940 through a bizarre and unacceptable,
00:02:21.620 quote, personal rating system is overwhelming.
00:02:25.240 And indeed, that's true.
00:02:26.860 I mean, the court laid it out in great detail
00:02:28.700 how they'd been using personality scores
00:02:31.200 to get rid of the Asians,
00:02:32.820 to say in the same way they used to do with the Jews.
00:02:35.980 This time it was they had too many Asians
00:02:37.740 who were above the grade.
00:02:39.120 They had to find some way of telling them
00:02:40.820 they didn't qualify for admission
00:02:42.120 and they used their personalities
00:02:43.680 to get rid of them.
00:02:45.160 So, you know, if you'd replaced Asian with black,
00:02:47.900 these same leftists who are now
00:02:49.220 disputing that New Yorker piece
00:02:51.220 would be outraged.
00:02:53.720 But now, since it's Asian Americans
00:02:56.080 who benefited and arguably blacks who didn't,
00:02:58.940 they've got to push ridiculous narratives
00:03:01.840 like this one from NPR.
00:03:04.660 Listen to this, Mark.
00:03:05.900 There is no evidence
00:03:07.120 that there's a practice of anti-Asian discrimination.
00:03:11.720 Predominantly white conservative political forces
00:03:14.320 are leveraging this experience
00:03:16.880 of being racially marginalized among Asian Americans
00:03:19.660 to say, yeah, and by the way,
00:03:22.320 there's this policy that you're not benefiting from.
00:03:25.840 I feel like Asian Americans have been used.
00:03:27.740 The myth ignores the long legacies
00:03:30.320 of systemic racism faced by black Americans.
00:03:33.500 It ignores selective recruiting
00:03:35.120 of highly educated immigrants.
00:03:37.320 And it enforces a false story
00:03:39.580 about Asian Americans
00:03:40.620 who are not a monolith.
00:03:43.840 That is their latest position,
00:03:45.720 that they were basically smart enough
00:03:47.300 to get into Harvard,
00:03:48.240 but too dumb to realize
00:03:49.660 that they were just political pawns of the whites.
00:03:52.460 Yeah, I can't get over the naked racism,
00:03:56.000 actually, about Asians here,
00:03:58.160 because this whole personality thing
00:04:00.240 is like, oh, yes, they're very brainy.
00:04:03.260 They're awfully good at mathematics.
00:04:05.820 If you hold a math contest,
00:04:08.000 a train is approaching at 57 miles an hour
00:04:11.240 and another one's coming towards it at 38 miles.
00:04:14.300 Yeah, I got it.
00:04:16.200 They're fabulous for that,
00:04:17.560 but let's face it,
00:04:18.340 they're totally boring.
00:04:19.540 I mean, this is basically,
00:04:21.700 I can't get over it.
00:04:22.760 This is like the old racist gag
00:04:25.120 from however many decades ago,
00:04:27.240 you know, all Chinese look alike.
00:04:29.700 All Chinese have the same boring personality.
00:04:32.560 But you can...
00:04:33.160 It's amazing.
00:04:34.500 They've gotten away with it quite...
00:04:38.280 They've gotten away with it
00:04:39.600 in the interest of this absurd,
00:04:41.920 complex, progressive apartheid
00:04:44.080 that's been erected in this country.
00:04:46.960 And the NPR story is fascinating
00:04:49.080 where they say, oh, yeah,
00:04:49.940 these Asians,
00:04:51.440 they're all very brainy
00:04:52.460 when it comes to these math questions
00:04:54.420 at, you know,
00:04:55.720 the grade school math question.
00:04:57.300 But they're actually patsies.
00:04:58.840 They're rubes.
00:04:59.500 They're dupes.
00:05:00.360 Which is why the knuckle-dragging white redneck
00:05:03.460 is able to use them as a front
00:05:06.220 for overturning affirmative action.
00:05:10.020 I honestly...
00:05:11.700 I looked it up, actually.
00:05:13.540 A professor at Duke University
00:05:15.220 ran the numbers on how it would go
00:05:17.960 if they had meritocratic admissions
00:05:20.200 at Harvard.
00:05:21.380 In other words,
00:05:21.880 if they didn't grade you
00:05:22.960 on your boring personality,
00:05:25.400 51.52% of the student body
00:05:30.680 would be Asian
00:05:31.520 and 36.54% would be white.
00:05:36.360 That's how it would go
00:05:37.180 on meritocratic admissions.
00:05:39.220 So this attempt from the rubble
00:05:41.520 of the Supreme Court decision
00:05:43.160 to reconstruct a coalition
00:05:46.760 of the minorities.
00:05:49.400 Actually, you know,
00:05:50.920 Asians on meritocratic business,
00:05:53.580 according to this study
00:05:55.080 from Duke University,
00:05:56.180 would have actually
00:05:57.640 the majority of places at Harvard.
00:06:00.120 Right.
00:06:00.960 Of course.
00:06:01.640 I mean, that there is something
00:06:03.780 in the Asian culture,
00:06:05.320 which is to be admired,
00:06:06.880 that dedicates itself,
00:06:08.900 that in which parents,
00:06:10.700 rich and poor,
00:06:11.780 are committed to education,
00:06:14.020 to studying hard,
00:06:15.400 to pushing academics.
00:06:16.780 That's to be applauded.
00:06:18.080 I mean, I've talked about this
00:06:19.680 with Amy Chua many times
00:06:20.900 who wrote Battle Hymn
00:06:21.840 of the Tiger Mother.
00:06:22.560 She's the original tiger mom
00:06:23.940 about how she's committed to this.
00:06:26.360 She teaches at Yale Law.
00:06:27.440 So does her husband.
00:06:28.180 She has two daughters
00:06:28.980 who went, I think,
00:06:30.320 to Harvard and Yale
00:06:31.520 and same with respect
00:06:33.260 to their graduate studies.
00:06:34.840 And I'm just not willing
00:06:36.820 to push my kids that hard.
00:06:38.040 You know, I have a different
00:06:38.640 approach than she does.
00:06:39.640 That's fine.
00:06:40.460 Right.
00:06:40.740 That's fine.
00:06:41.480 It leads to different results
00:06:42.660 at the college level
00:06:43.500 if they're not coming up
00:06:44.620 with these false justifications,
00:06:46.060 as you point out,
00:06:47.000 that the Asians are boring
00:06:48.340 and therefore can't get into Harvard.
00:06:50.400 But now the line has to be
00:06:52.100 it can't be that the Asians
00:06:54.000 actually were pissed off
00:06:56.080 about this, Mark.
00:06:56.920 It has to be the evil white man
00:06:59.400 exploited them yet again.
00:07:02.260 It's the whites fault.
00:07:03.280 Yeah, the stupid white guys
00:07:06.080 who would only make up
00:07:07.120 35 percent of the student body,
00:07:10.140 nevertheless, are wily, cunning enough.
00:07:13.240 This comes back to the Chinese person,
00:07:16.200 the Asian personality defects
00:07:18.840 are so bad that they don't even know
00:07:21.760 moronic white men
00:07:23.480 whose IQ is a fraction of theirs
00:07:25.840 are pulling the wool over their eyes.
00:07:27.800 The thing about this,
00:07:28.800 I find it my kids,
00:07:30.540 you know,
00:07:31.000 who went to a little
00:07:32.280 New Hampshire grade school
00:07:33.920 where there were between
00:07:35.020 in each year,
00:07:35.860 there were between like
00:07:37.000 nine and 17 students,
00:07:39.500 not a lot of them.
00:07:40.560 But all the kids
00:07:41.700 throughout northern New Hampshire,
00:07:44.600 all whenever they took part
00:07:46.000 in these,
00:07:46.540 I think it's called mathletes,
00:07:48.860 these math competitions,
00:07:50.840 they'd all game it out beforehand
00:07:53.180 and they'd say,
00:07:54.120 oh, wait a minute,
00:07:54.760 we're playing some school
00:07:56.980 down from southern New Hampshire
00:07:58.760 where it's some fancy town
00:08:01.000 where all the rich parents
00:08:02.580 have adopted Chinese babies,
00:08:05.060 so they're going to win.
00:08:06.100 And the whole thing was that,
00:08:10.100 oh, we haven't got,
00:08:11.280 we've got somebody,
00:08:12.260 we've got no Chinese people,
00:08:13.920 so we're screwed.
00:08:14.860 The school down the road
00:08:15.880 has got a kid
00:08:18.320 whose mother is Asian,
00:08:20.680 so they're going to do better than us.
00:08:22.840 They made jokes
00:08:23.820 when they're seven years old.
00:08:25.880 They're making jokes
00:08:27.040 about this thing.
00:08:28.900 And you notice it,
00:08:30.660 you know,
00:08:31.540 I was walking down
00:08:33.460 Whigmore Street in London
00:08:35.080 a couple of months ago
00:08:37.200 and I suddenly noticed
00:08:38.840 that on all the posters
00:08:40.540 for the classical music recitals
00:08:42.460 at the Whigmore Hall,
00:08:43.560 everybody who's playing a cello now
00:08:45.400 in any capital city
00:08:47.580 around the world
00:08:48.580 appears to be Asian
00:08:49.760 because, as you say,
00:08:51.400 that's one of those disciplines
00:08:53.400 that Asian parents value,
00:08:56.240 teaching their kids
00:08:57.120 to play chamber music
00:08:58.500 while we're teaching them
00:09:01.540 that there are 57 genders
00:09:04.720 or whatever it's up to now.
00:09:06.300 It's not hard to figure
00:09:07.100 how it's going to go.
00:09:09.320 You look at the international rank,
00:09:11.700 there's a reason for this.
00:09:13.100 And the racism here,
00:09:14.420 the naked racism,
00:09:16.080 which appears to say,
00:09:17.440 oh yes,
00:09:18.220 these guys have fantastic big brains.
00:09:21.000 Yes,
00:09:21.340 they can play the cello brilliantly.
00:09:23.940 Yes,
00:09:24.300 they're multiplication skilled,
00:09:25.940 but let's face it,
00:09:26.880 they all bore the socks off us.
00:09:29.140 They've got away with that
00:09:30.620 for the entirety of the 21st century
00:09:33.180 at American universities.
00:09:35.200 And it's absurd that it takes,
00:09:36.920 you know,
00:09:37.900 nine judges on some court
00:09:40.680 to tell them,
00:09:42.260 actually,
00:09:42.540 this is totally racist
00:09:43.640 and you shouldn't be doing it.
00:09:45.700 Right.
00:09:45.980 The answer now from the left is,
00:09:47.800 it's not our racism
00:09:48.880 that was keeping them out of Harvard.
00:09:50.620 It was their stupidity
00:09:52.300 in not realizing
00:09:53.220 they were being used
00:09:54.180 by the white man
00:09:54.960 to pursue a case
00:09:56.320 that they lost
00:09:57.620 when they brought it
00:09:58.380 in the name of a white woman,
00:10:00.140 which is true.
00:10:00.740 They had a white woman
00:10:01.860 who sued
00:10:02.520 and she didn't get as far
00:10:03.460 as they did in this case.
00:10:04.620 The facts were all there.
00:10:06.480 Here's the thing.
00:10:07.300 It's part of a pattern,
00:10:08.160 as you know.
00:10:08.800 It's not just the left
00:10:09.860 trying to run cover
00:10:10.860 in the wake of this decision
00:10:12.900 by saying,
00:10:13.680 the white man
00:10:14.300 screwed over the Asians
00:10:15.400 and the Asians
00:10:16.060 just didn't get it.
00:10:17.340 You've got people
00:10:18.460 doing this
00:10:19.440 to blacks
00:10:20.160 who are conservative
00:10:21.200 from the dawn of time.
00:10:23.280 We pulled this soundbite
00:10:24.340 from Ellie Mistal,
00:10:25.840 who writes for The Nation
00:10:27.580 and is an MSNBC contributor
00:10:29.280 talking about Clarence Thomas,
00:10:31.080 who he absolutely loves to hate
00:10:33.460 because Clarence Thomas,
00:10:35.360 he's an Uncle Tom.
00:10:36.740 He's been called that.
00:10:38.200 And so they do the same thing
00:10:39.780 to blacks
00:10:40.240 if they're conservative.
00:10:41.180 Here's an example.
00:10:43.280 He is such a mutilated version
00:10:45.900 of a black justice
00:10:48.420 that he is able
00:10:49.760 to make these proclamations
00:10:51.420 that just fly in the face
00:10:53.840 of law and facts, right?
00:10:55.760 One of the other things
00:10:56.480 that you really realize
00:10:57.220 when you read through
00:10:58.200 his concurrence
00:10:58.940 is just how angry he is
00:11:00.840 at Ketanji Brown Jackson
00:11:02.160 for having the temerity
00:11:03.700 to be another black person
00:11:05.780 on the Supreme Court.
00:11:06.620 He apparently thought
00:11:07.320 that he got to be
00:11:08.700 the only one.
00:11:09.480 He basically throws
00:11:10.120 a tantrum at Jackson.
00:11:12.100 And why?
00:11:13.100 Because Jackson is making
00:11:14.920 the actual originalist argument
00:11:17.740 in the affirmative action case.
00:11:19.280 And that's why he's so fabulous
00:11:20.600 about all of the stuff
00:11:22.360 that's in his concurrence.
00:11:23.940 He just,
00:11:24.480 he's just like plucked
00:11:25.520 out his own eyes
00:11:26.300 and he doesn't want
00:11:27.360 to see anything
00:11:28.540 that Miss Jenny tells him
00:11:30.500 he shouldn't be able to see.
00:11:32.680 Oh, there it is at the end.
00:11:34.940 His white wife
00:11:35.860 is pulling the strings
00:11:37.640 on this black justice.
00:11:39.580 You get it?
00:11:40.120 That's fine to say.
00:11:41.920 Yeah.
00:11:42.520 Yeah.
00:11:42.900 So, so like the black man
00:11:44.620 is so stupid
00:11:45.660 that it's his dominatrix
00:11:48.500 of a white wife
00:11:50.680 who's running everything.
00:11:52.160 And likewise,
00:11:53.620 all these brilliant
00:11:54.520 Chinese classical musician
00:11:56.840 math students
00:11:59.140 are actually no better
00:12:01.060 than the Chinese laborers
00:12:03.480 working on the transcontinental railroad
00:12:06.340 150 years ago.
00:12:08.720 This is,
00:12:09.660 all the arguments
00:12:11.060 that are made
00:12:12.340 in favor of what is actually
00:12:16.380 now a more complex system
00:12:18.460 of apartheid
00:12:19.180 than South Africa had,
00:12:20.640 but it's progressive apartheid,
00:12:22.380 so it appears to be cool
00:12:23.340 with people.
00:12:24.160 But they all,
00:12:24.920 they all basically
00:12:25.860 make the fact,
00:12:26.820 make the case
00:12:27.680 that these minorities
00:12:29.420 are too stupid.
00:12:31.840 So that you can't have
00:12:33.740 voter ID
00:12:34.740 when you go to vote
00:12:36.200 in an American election
00:12:37.680 because it's racist.
00:12:39.800 Why is it racist?
00:12:40.740 Well,
00:12:40.880 because blacks are too stupid
00:12:42.220 to get ID.
00:12:43.120 They can get ID
00:12:44.080 if they're in Botswana.
00:12:46.040 They can get ID
00:12:47.020 if they're in Kenya.
00:12:48.580 They can get ID
00:12:49.720 if they're in Rwanda.
00:12:51.160 But funnily enough,
00:12:52.420 in America,
00:12:54.040 it's,
00:12:54.520 they're too stupid
00:12:55.660 to get ID.
00:12:56.540 Or I have no idea.
00:12:59.500 With respect to Clarence Thomas,
00:13:01.280 I didn't read that
00:13:02.340 as an angry judgment.
00:13:03.700 In fact,
00:13:04.020 given what he's been through
00:13:05.280 in American life,
00:13:06.320 he's actually one of,
00:13:07.200 I would say,
00:13:07.880 that one of the,
00:13:09.180 he has a calmness
00:13:11.040 and an equanimity
00:13:12.420 that is extremely rare
00:13:14.960 given what he's been subjected to.
00:13:18.260 And this idea
00:13:19.400 that once you're
00:13:20.160 in your identity box,
00:13:21.480 you can only be
00:13:22.460 one kind of person
00:13:23.980 is actually one of the most
00:13:25.920 racially condescending
00:13:27.360 and revolting ideas.
00:13:29.420 It's a terrible thing,
00:13:30.500 this,
00:13:30.680 this whole apartheid thing.
00:13:32.560 The 14th Amendment
00:13:33.520 is a great thing.
00:13:35.360 We should start treating people
00:13:36.740 as individuals again.
00:13:38.300 So that black guy
00:13:39.580 may be a genius
00:13:40.640 and that black guy
00:13:42.140 over there
00:13:42.820 may be a totally
00:13:44.200 disreputable slug,
00:13:45.760 but the color of his skin
00:13:47.600 has got nothing to do with it
00:13:49.700 when it comes to the law,
00:13:51.120 when it comes to
00:13:51.960 Garner University
00:13:52.940 or to anything else.
00:13:54.280 They're citizens,
00:13:55.700 which is a concept
00:13:56.680 in almost terminal decline
00:13:58.980 in this country.
00:14:00.980 The nerve to suggest
00:14:02.680 that Clarence Thomas
00:14:03.660 has to answer
00:14:04.860 to Miss Ginny
00:14:06.020 for his opinions
00:14:07.340 as if she is driving
00:14:08.980 anything Clarence Thomas does.
00:14:10.460 I mean,
00:14:10.700 it's absolutely outrageous.
00:14:11.940 Anybody else would be fired
00:14:13.080 for such a comment,
00:14:14.420 but you're allowed
00:14:15.020 to say that stuff
00:14:15.840 about Justice Thomas.
00:14:17.940 No,
00:14:18.240 I mean,
00:14:18.580 it's absolutely revolt.
00:14:19.980 I was at some event
00:14:21.600 with them
00:14:22.080 a little while back.
00:14:23.500 They seem to be actually
00:14:24.880 a very nice couple.
00:14:28.380 He's not the guy
00:14:29.440 he's portrayed as.
00:14:31.080 I mean,
00:14:31.380 I,
00:14:32.580 what I,
00:14:33.100 he's got this,
00:14:33.800 you probably know this,
00:14:35.520 Megan,
00:14:35.740 but he's got this
00:14:36.280 fantastic,
00:14:37.560 huge laugh.
00:14:38.800 The laugh of a man
00:14:40.260 who finds something
00:14:42.140 genuinely funny.
00:14:43.860 He's not applauding.
00:14:44.960 It's not the laugh
00:14:45.740 you hear from a late show,
00:14:47.700 tonight show audience
00:14:49.020 where you're,
00:14:49.820 it's a phony laugh
00:14:51.300 applauding yourself
00:14:52.420 for holding
00:14:53.540 the correct attitude.
00:14:55.080 It's a great big bear laugh
00:14:57.640 of somebody
00:14:58.340 who is taking
00:14:59.180 genuine pleasure
00:15:00.600 in life's great comedy.
00:15:02.920 and the idea
00:15:03.960 that he's bitter
00:15:04.800 or angry
00:15:05.840 or all the rest of it.
00:15:07.140 I must say,
00:15:07.540 I always love having him
00:15:08.840 in the audience
00:15:10.240 because he's the equivalent
00:15:11.600 of the guy
00:15:12.520 holding up the cue cards
00:15:14.080 saying,
00:15:14.880 please laugh.
00:15:15.660 If you've got
00:15:16.200 Clarence Thomas there,
00:15:17.900 you can make something,
00:15:18.820 yeah,
00:15:19.060 you can like something
00:15:20.400 that it's not terribly funny,
00:15:22.260 but he roars
00:15:23.400 with laughter
00:15:24.240 and it starts off
00:15:26.200 the crowd
00:15:26.740 and sweeps it all
00:15:27.880 up to the back
00:15:29.080 of the far balcony.
00:15:30.080 He's the opposite
00:15:32.680 of the way
00:15:33.440 of the stupid cartoons
00:15:36.980 that the left
00:15:37.940 creates of its enemies.
00:15:40.000 They're no relation
00:15:40.900 to how they really are.
00:15:42.680 It's that sense of humor
00:15:43.960 that's probably gotten him
00:15:45.080 through all these years
00:15:46.400 on the Supreme Court.
00:15:47.580 You'd need it.
00:15:49.020 Third and also
00:15:50.900 equally stunning example
00:15:52.200 of the left doing this
00:15:53.340 comes from Jen Psaki
00:15:54.560 at MSNBC.
00:15:56.180 She now has a failing
00:15:57.260 Sunday TV show
00:15:59.340 over there
00:15:59.920 no one's watching it
00:16:01.000 probably because of
00:16:02.640 drivel like this.
00:16:04.160 But now she's saying
00:16:05.860 that to the extent
00:16:07.020 we've seen
00:16:07.480 we've seen Armenians
00:16:08.880 out in California
00:16:09.940 who tend to be Christian.
00:16:11.900 We've seen Muslims
00:16:13.260 in I think it was Maryland
00:16:14.940 in another state
00:16:15.920 come out now,
00:16:17.240 same as many white people
00:16:18.360 and many Catholics
00:16:20.180 and many Christians
00:16:20.940 have in various states
00:16:22.400 to protest
00:16:23.500 the exclusion of parents
00:16:25.120 from the agendas
00:16:26.140 in these schools
00:16:26.980 which are becoming
00:16:27.580 more and more radical
00:16:28.420 on the LGBTQ issue.
00:16:30.600 And so Muslims
00:16:31.940 most recently came out
00:16:33.220 protesting in Maryland
00:16:34.980 and you know,
00:16:37.020 you could go back
00:16:38.420 a long ways
00:16:39.340 to find out
00:16:40.020 why Muslims object
00:16:41.120 to the LGBTQ agenda
00:16:43.220 the way it's currently
00:16:44.700 being taught
00:16:45.320 in particular.
00:16:46.380 But that's not
00:16:47.360 how Jen Psaki
00:16:48.160 formerly of this White House,
00:16:50.420 the spokesperson
00:16:50.940 for Joe Biden
00:16:51.660 sees it.
00:16:52.760 Listen to this drivel.
00:16:53.640 The GOP is trying
00:16:56.180 to recruit
00:16:56.780 Muslim Americans,
00:16:58.200 a community
00:16:58.780 that makes up
00:16:59.520 less than 2%
00:17:00.540 of the U.S. population
00:17:01.600 against another
00:17:03.140 tiny, marginalized
00:17:04.360 group of Americans,
00:17:05.840 transgender people.
00:17:07.440 It's important to remember
00:17:08.260 that back in 2011
00:17:09.400 during the Republican primary,
00:17:11.240 the right wing
00:17:11.740 had designated
00:17:12.420 Muslim Americans
00:17:13.260 as public enemy
00:17:14.540 number one.
00:17:16.080 No surprise,
00:17:17.240 given that conspiracy theorists,
00:17:19.280 remember the birthers,
00:17:20.200 I do,
00:17:21.320 had been trying
00:17:22.000 for years
00:17:22.520 to portray
00:17:23.160 President Obama
00:17:24.040 as a Trojan horse
00:17:25.100 for Sharia law.
00:17:26.480 Now fast forward
00:17:27.400 eight years
00:17:28.180 and the right wing
00:17:29.160 has focused
00:17:29.760 their fear-mongering
00:17:30.780 on trans people.
00:17:32.600 And who better
00:17:33.140 to go after
00:17:33.800 the new enemy
00:17:34.780 than the old enemy?
00:17:36.460 Let's be clear.
00:17:37.620 This is the same
00:17:38.840 old GOP playbook.
00:17:40.260 Another cynical ploy
00:17:41.580 to tear at the fabric
00:17:42.580 of our society
00:17:43.400 and damage the idea
00:17:44.940 that out of many
00:17:46.220 we are one.
00:17:47.580 All because
00:17:48.120 they want so desperately
00:17:49.400 to regain
00:17:50.180 the White House.
00:17:53.380 Whitey is at it again.
00:17:55.720 It's the whites
00:17:56.560 trying to pit
00:17:57.660 the loving Muslims
00:17:59.180 who have always been
00:18:00.120 pro-LGBTQ
00:18:01.480 against the poor
00:18:02.740 trans people.
00:18:04.360 Yeah,
00:18:05.000 I'd love to meet
00:18:06.340 white men like this.
00:18:07.660 They're so cunning.
00:18:08.800 They can,
00:18:09.220 they're one minute
00:18:09.920 they're duping
00:18:11.140 the poor old Asian
00:18:12.600 math genius
00:18:13.660 into doing their bidding.
00:18:15.280 Next,
00:18:15.960 next,
00:18:16.520 the fire-breathing
00:18:17.880 imam
00:18:18.500 from the local
00:18:19.480 madrasa.
00:18:20.340 They just seem
00:18:20.920 able to hoodwink
00:18:21.740 everybody.
00:18:22.960 They got the imam
00:18:24.080 out of his marching
00:18:25.220 at the pride parade
00:18:26.220 to instead go over
00:18:27.500 to the school board
00:18:28.100 protest media.
00:18:28.720 How did they do it?
00:18:30.320 Yeah,
00:18:30.580 no,
00:18:30.860 I remember
00:18:32.160 just a couple
00:18:34.260 of years ago,
00:18:34.880 Justin Trudeau
00:18:35.980 up in Ottawa,
00:18:37.280 he wore Muslim
00:18:39.460 socks
00:18:40.540 during the
00:18:41.920 gay pride parade.
00:18:43.740 And I said,
00:18:44.720 whoop-dee-doo,
00:18:45.660 why don't you wear
00:18:46.540 the gay socks
00:18:47.540 at the Muslim parade?
00:18:49.380 This is what you might call,
00:18:51.140 if you were
00:18:51.660 Karl Marx,
00:18:52.440 the internal
00:18:53.160 contradictions
00:18:54.360 of diversity.
00:18:56.420 Anyone
00:18:56.720 who knows
00:18:57.900 anything
00:18:58.300 about Islam
00:18:59.360 knows that
00:19:00.380 it's not
00:19:01.360 in the least
00:19:01.920 bit keen
00:19:02.600 on homosexuality
00:19:04.820 and they pass
00:19:05.720 laws in a lot
00:19:06.560 of countries
00:19:07.860 actually
00:19:08.900 giving you
00:19:11.500 the death penalty
00:19:12.380 if you're
00:19:14.580 caught at it.
00:19:15.760 And the idea
00:19:16.380 that they
00:19:17.660 would be,
00:19:18.520 this particular
00:19:19.280 last pride month
00:19:21.180 where it's all
00:19:21.860 been sort of
00:19:22.480 intensified
00:19:23.320 and accelerated,
00:19:25.020 there's a
00:19:25.760 fantastic
00:19:26.300 clip out there
00:19:27.560 on the internet
00:19:28.320 that some
00:19:30.260 young Muslim
00:19:31.860 lad recorded
00:19:32.700 in a Calgary
00:19:33.740 schoolhouse
00:19:34.560 where the
00:19:35.320 sort of
00:19:35.640 progressive
00:19:36.100 teacher
00:19:37.480 is rebuking
00:19:39.320 them for not
00:19:40.100 coming to any
00:19:40.940 of the pride
00:19:41.440 events.
00:19:41.840 She's saying,
00:19:42.240 well,
00:19:42.340 we went to
00:19:42.920 all your
00:19:43.500 Eid events
00:19:44.480 for Islam,
00:19:45.740 so we were
00:19:46.480 there for you,
00:19:47.840 so why aren't
00:19:48.580 you coming to
00:19:49.260 all the LGBTQ
00:19:50.200 events?
00:19:51.520 And the Muslim
00:19:52.440 kids start laughing
00:19:53.560 and she rebukes
00:19:54.740 it.
00:19:54.900 She goes,
00:19:55.720 it's not a
00:19:56.680 joke,
00:19:57.180 Achmed.
00:19:58.560 It's a
00:19:59.440 fantastic
00:20:00.780 moment
00:20:02.020 because
00:20:02.780 there is
00:20:04.240 actually
00:20:04.940 and it's
00:20:07.260 interesting to me
00:20:07.940 that it's
00:20:08.240 happened actually
00:20:08.800 all across the
00:20:09.480 map this
00:20:10.020 last Pride
00:20:11.540 month.
00:20:12.120 They're not
00:20:12.440 going along
00:20:13.760 with it
00:20:14.340 and if you
00:20:15.100 know anything
00:20:16.580 about it,
00:20:17.000 like the
00:20:17.340 most tolerant
00:20:18.100 liberal cities
00:20:19.420 in Europe,
00:20:20.220 Amsterdam,
00:20:21.620 suddenly they
00:20:23.200 had an
00:20:24.340 epidemic of
00:20:25.160 gay bashing
00:20:26.000 and all the
00:20:27.140 gay bars
00:20:27.780 started to
00:20:28.680 close down.
00:20:29.300 The gay
00:20:29.720 pubs in the
00:20:30.480 East End
00:20:30.900 of London
00:20:31.480 have closed
00:20:32.820 down.
00:20:33.200 Now,
00:20:33.360 why would
00:20:33.780 that be?
00:20:34.980 Might that be
00:20:35.960 something to do
00:20:36.660 with the
00:20:36.980 internal
00:20:37.500 contradictions
00:20:38.440 of the
00:20:39.520 Rainbow
00:20:39.980 Coalition?
00:20:40.800 this idea
00:20:42.220 that it's
00:20:43.000 the white
00:20:43.560 man
00:20:44.020 manipulating
00:20:44.960 it.
00:20:45.260 I would
00:20:46.900 imagine
00:20:47.460 that the
00:20:48.880 average
00:20:50.120 white guy,
00:20:51.700 he's looking
00:20:52.260 at the
00:20:53.320 Muslims
00:20:55.400 in Hamtrak
00:20:57.180 in Michigan
00:20:58.220 where there's a
00:21:00.000 fantastic,
00:21:01.000 hilarious piece
00:21:02.040 where when the
00:21:03.840 first Muslim
00:21:04.680 council in
00:21:05.580 America was
00:21:06.440 elected in that
00:21:07.580 town,
00:21:08.000 the Guardian
00:21:09.400 ran a
00:21:09.860 column saying,
00:21:10.520 oh,
00:21:10.620 we were all
00:21:11.140 there for you
00:21:11.780 when you got
00:21:12.360 elected,
00:21:12.940 the first
00:21:13.420 Muslim council.
00:21:14.720 We thought
00:21:15.040 this was
00:21:15.440 brilliant,
00:21:16.000 a great
00:21:16.380 victory for
00:21:17.180 diversity,
00:21:17.860 and now you're
00:21:19.180 saying you
00:21:19.600 refused to
00:21:20.240 fly the
00:21:20.740 rainbow flag?
00:21:21.840 Oh,
00:21:22.300 my word,
00:21:23.100 I never saw
00:21:23.840 that coming.
00:21:25.460 Diversity in
00:21:26.540 the historical,
00:21:28.240 in the big
00:21:28.920 picture,
00:21:29.480 diversity is
00:21:30.560 just an
00:21:31.320 interim stage,
00:21:33.600 you know,
00:21:34.040 and if you,
00:21:35.100 when you're up
00:21:35.680 against people
00:21:36.400 who are
00:21:36.780 serious as
00:21:37.560 opposed to
00:21:38.080 believing all
00:21:38.900 the pretty
00:21:41.240 prancing unicorn
00:21:42.820 myths,
00:21:43.920 you understand
00:21:44.520 that diversity
00:21:45.480 is generally
00:21:46.300 just an
00:21:46.960 interim stage.
00:21:49.080 and as we
00:21:49.800 just discussed
00:21:50.840 with the
00:21:51.520 Asians,
00:21:52.580 with what
00:21:53.320 they do to
00:21:53.720 conservative
00:21:54.140 blacks in
00:21:54.720 America,
00:21:55.600 this is another
00:21:56.300 diminishment of
00:21:57.700 Muslims in
00:21:58.920 America as
00:21:59.760 you're just
00:22:00.500 too stupid
00:22:01.380 to realize
00:22:02.140 you are being
00:22:02.880 manipulated,
00:22:03.560 you can't
00:22:04.020 have a
00:22:04.880 genuinely held
00:22:05.660 belief.
00:22:06.600 In this case,
00:22:07.120 I'll tell you
00:22:07.440 what it's actually
00:22:07.980 about that's
00:22:08.480 getting them to
00:22:08.920 protest,
00:22:09.540 but whatever it
00:22:10.340 is,
00:22:10.520 you're not
00:22:10.800 allowed to
00:22:11.100 have it.
00:22:11.620 It's just
00:22:11.940 the white
00:22:12.260 man convincing
00:22:12.900 you you feel
00:22:13.360 that way.
00:22:14.020 So let's dig
00:22:14.600 a little deeper
00:22:15.280 on what she's
00:22:16.680 actually reacting
00:22:17.340 to.
00:22:18.020 You have
00:22:18.940 hundreds of
00:22:20.080 Maryland parents
00:22:21.020 protesting in
00:22:22.560 Montgomery County,
00:22:23.400 which is very
00:22:23.860 blue.
00:22:24.640 Why are they
00:22:25.140 mad?
00:22:25.480 What actually
00:22:25.840 drags a parent
00:22:26.620 out on a
00:22:27.540 weekend to
00:22:28.020 protest?
00:22:28.800 It has to
00:22:29.240 be a lot.
00:22:30.300 Parents are
00:22:30.640 busy.
00:22:31.220 They've got
00:22:31.640 jobs,
00:22:32.040 they've got
00:22:32.320 kids,
00:22:32.640 they don't
00:22:32.820 really have a
00:22:33.140 lot of time
00:22:33.460 to protest,
00:22:34.000 but they
00:22:34.260 did it on
00:22:35.220 Tuesday outside
00:22:36.100 the Board
00:22:36.460 of Education
00:22:36.940 meeting because
00:22:38.480 Maryland's
00:22:39.340 largest school
00:22:39.920 district will
00:22:40.900 not allow
00:22:41.680 them to opt
00:22:42.680 out their
00:22:43.680 children from
00:22:45.240 books and
00:22:46.020 lessons that
00:22:47.220 have certain
00:22:47.860 LGBTQ lessons
00:22:49.580 that they find
00:22:50.980 objectionable.
00:22:52.380 Maryland state
00:22:53.020 law doesn't
00:22:54.120 allow the
00:22:54.900 opt-out
00:22:55.400 provision unless
00:22:56.980 it's a specific
00:22:58.040 unit on sex
00:22:59.280 ed.
00:23:00.160 And this isn't
00:23:00.980 technically sex
00:23:02.100 ed.
00:23:02.480 They've folded
00:23:03.740 it in under
00:23:04.540 English language
00:23:05.660 arts curriculum.
00:23:07.600 And these
00:23:07.920 parents think
00:23:08.700 it's inappropriately
00:23:09.840 sexual and
00:23:11.480 has messages
00:23:12.900 with which they
00:23:13.500 do not agree
00:23:14.060 when it comes
00:23:14.520 to trans
00:23:14.960 people.
00:23:15.980 And so
00:23:16.240 they're going
00:23:16.640 out there
00:23:16.920 saying you
00:23:17.300 can teach
00:23:17.660 what you
00:23:17.900 want.
00:23:18.320 They're not
00:23:18.560 saying you
00:23:18.840 have to
00:23:18.980 shut down
00:23:19.280 the lesson
00:23:19.580 plan,
00:23:20.020 but there
00:23:20.700 are kids
00:23:21.380 and we
00:23:22.060 should be
00:23:22.360 permitted to
00:23:22.960 be able to
00:23:23.580 opt them
00:23:24.000 out.
00:23:24.460 And the
00:23:24.960 school says,
00:23:25.700 no,
00:23:26.720 you can't.
00:23:27.500 Your kids
00:23:28.000 will sit
00:23:28.860 there.
00:23:29.340 In fact,
00:23:29.600 the quote
00:23:29.940 from the
00:23:30.300 president of the
00:23:30.840 district's
00:23:31.240 teacher's
00:23:31.720 union is
00:23:32.900 as follows.
00:23:33.940 Students
00:23:34.380 must have
00:23:35.480 texts that
00:23:36.240 reflect the
00:23:37.240 many identities
00:23:38.100 people have.
00:23:39.040 They must.
00:23:39.760 You may not
00:23:40.360 opt your
00:23:40.740 child out of
00:23:41.280 those texts
00:23:41.760 or the
00:23:42.080 lesson plans
00:23:42.600 and so on.
00:23:43.460 And so
00:23:43.680 they came
00:23:44.080 out to
00:23:44.400 protest.
00:23:45.080 Similarly,
00:23:45.680 they did
00:23:46.140 the same
00:23:46.520 in Dearborn,
00:23:47.380 Michigan,
00:23:47.920 not long
00:23:48.540 ago.
00:23:48.820 and still
00:23:50.320 this doesn't
00:23:50.980 get covered
00:23:51.460 on its
00:23:52.020 substance,
00:23:52.700 a debate
00:23:53.180 about whether
00:23:53.560 the parents
00:23:53.960 are right
00:23:54.360 or wrong
00:23:54.800 or what's
00:23:55.140 in the
00:23:55.340 text.
00:23:55.840 It gets
00:23:56.440 covered by
00:23:57.060 MSNBC as
00:23:58.320 the white
00:23:59.220 man is
00:24:00.100 evil and
00:24:01.040 manipulative,
00:24:01.860 Mark.
00:24:02.580 Yeah.
00:24:03.060 Yeah.
00:24:03.540 And in
00:24:04.520 fact,
00:24:05.140 this is,
00:24:05.740 again,
00:24:06.240 this ties
00:24:06.800 back to
00:24:07.520 what we
00:24:08.020 were talking
00:24:08.420 about with
00:24:09.160 why 52%
00:24:11.280 of the
00:24:11.680 student body
00:24:12.300 at Harvard
00:24:12.920 would be
00:24:14.060 Asian.
00:24:14.660 Because this
00:24:15.080 is a,
00:24:15.480 I'm really
00:24:15.920 the last
00:24:16.400 person to
00:24:16.880 ask about
00:24:17.460 this,
00:24:18.360 Megan,
00:24:19.100 because I
00:24:20.360 went to
00:24:21.700 an English
00:24:22.660 boys school
00:24:23.500 and we
00:24:24.240 were expected
00:24:24.780 to pick up
00:24:25.520 all this
00:24:26.500 sex stuff
00:24:27.940 in our own
00:24:28.780 time.
00:24:29.380 You know,
00:24:29.620 they didn't
00:24:30.100 really care
00:24:30.760 what it was
00:24:32.040 we were into,
00:24:32.920 but they
00:24:33.300 didn't think
00:24:33.740 it was something
00:24:34.240 you needed
00:24:34.740 to teach
00:24:35.200 in a classroom.
00:24:35.900 They thought
00:24:36.160 the classroom
00:24:36.720 was there
00:24:37.300 to teach
00:24:37.800 you arithmetic
00:24:39.040 and Latin
00:24:40.520 and biology
00:24:42.760 and all
00:24:43.460 the rest
00:24:43.880 of it.
00:24:44.320 And if
00:24:44.660 you wanted
00:24:45.180 to learn
00:24:45.680 about various
00:24:46.440 sex acts,
00:24:47.160 which is a
00:24:47.700 lot of what
00:24:48.120 these so-called
00:24:49.280 textbooks are
00:24:50.100 about,
00:24:50.780 you were
00:24:51.140 supposed to
00:24:51.540 pick it up
00:24:52.120 behind the
00:24:52.940 bicycle sheds
00:24:53.800 during recess
00:24:54.580 and not expect
00:24:55.560 teacher to know
00:24:56.400 anything about it.
00:24:57.640 And so we
00:24:57.980 have completely
00:24:58.600 inverted the
00:24:59.980 principle of
00:25:00.860 education here
00:25:02.100 to the point
00:25:03.260 that it has
00:25:04.040 become,
00:25:04.840 I don't think
00:25:05.880 it's an
00:25:06.280 exaggeration.
00:25:06.900 I mean,
00:25:07.160 I'm absolutely
00:25:07.880 astonished by
00:25:08.720 the sexual
00:25:09.560 explicitness
00:25:10.640 of some
00:25:12.260 of these
00:25:12.700 books because
00:25:13.500 it is,
00:25:14.700 teaching what
00:25:16.340 used to be
00:25:17.020 regarded as
00:25:17.800 fairly abstruse
00:25:19.220 sexual practices
00:25:21.360 that anybody
00:25:22.280 who is
00:25:23.100 remotely
00:25:23.460 interested in
00:25:24.420 them,
00:25:24.980 that interested
00:25:25.720 in them,
00:25:26.560 should be able
00:25:27.240 to find out
00:25:28.260 about on their
00:25:29.100 own time.
00:25:29.940 And the idea
00:25:30.480 that you actually
00:25:31.180 teach it to
00:25:32.580 seven-year-olds,
00:25:33.620 eight-year-olds,
00:25:34.340 this is actually
00:25:35.240 a form of
00:25:36.320 child abuse.
00:25:37.240 It's the
00:25:37.740 sexualization
00:25:38.760 of childhood.
00:25:40.660 And apart from
00:25:41.460 anything else,
00:25:42.100 it's contributing
00:25:42.800 to the great
00:25:43.620 moralization
00:25:44.540 of society.
00:25:46.700 You know,
00:25:46.920 we're wasting
00:25:47.660 our,
00:25:48.080 you have a,
00:25:48.960 basically,
00:25:49.580 if you,
00:25:51.060 I'm relaxed
00:25:52.240 about high
00:25:52.900 school and
00:25:53.760 university,
00:25:54.380 but if you
00:25:55.340 screw up
00:25:56.380 K through
00:25:57.620 eight,
00:25:58.840 the kid up
00:25:59.880 till,
00:26:00.340 you know,
00:26:00.720 12 or 13
00:26:01.620 years old,
00:26:02.220 it's virtually
00:26:02.860 impossible to
00:26:04.160 recover from
00:26:04.860 that,
00:26:05.340 even if you're
00:26:05.940 keeping him
00:26:06.440 school as
00:26:07.340 Joe Biden
00:26:08.040 wants to do
00:26:08.720 until grade
00:26:09.660 27,
00:26:10.520 grade 32,
00:26:11.540 whatever it
00:26:12.100 is.
00:26:12.620 The fact is,
00:26:13.740 if you screw
00:26:14.180 up K through
00:26:15.020 eight,
00:26:15.740 which is what
00:26:16.300 all this
00:26:16.780 rubbish is
00:26:17.380 doing,
00:26:18.900 is it gives
00:26:20.040 you a huge
00:26:20.620 divide.
00:26:21.040 I mean,
00:26:21.280 you don't,
00:26:21.660 it's not
00:26:21.980 difficult to
00:26:22.460 figure out
00:26:22.820 who's going
00:26:23.260 to rule
00:26:23.780 the future.
00:26:26.260 We're teaching
00:26:27.080 our kids
00:26:27.740 about obscure
00:26:29.680 niche boutique
00:26:30.960 sex acts
00:26:31.780 and the
00:26:32.680 Chinese are
00:26:33.640 teaching them
00:26:34.280 mathematics
00:26:34.860 and chamber
00:26:36.000 music.
00:26:36.540 Not difficult
00:26:36.960 to figure out
00:26:37.520 who's going
00:26:37.920 to win on
00:26:38.320 that one.
00:26:39.580 And you
00:26:39.720 know what?
00:26:40.120 In that
00:26:40.380 Maryland,
00:26:40.860 in that
00:26:41.100 Montgomery
00:26:41.440 County,
00:26:41.940 Maryland
00:26:42.160 protest,
00:26:43.100 indeed,
00:26:43.720 these
00:26:44.560 controversial
00:26:45.140 books were
00:26:46.180 for every
00:26:46.620 grade level,
00:26:47.220 including
00:26:47.580 kindergarten to
00:26:48.620 fifth grade.
00:26:50.020 And that's
00:26:50.340 where the
00:26:50.580 curriculum was
00:26:51.180 the most
00:26:51.600 controversial.
00:26:52.500 These parents
00:26:52.940 are being
00:26:53.340 told,
00:26:54.160 you must
00:26:54.560 let us
00:26:55.000 have access
00:26:55.540 to your
00:26:56.020 kindergartner
00:26:56.800 with this
00:26:57.700 kind of
00:26:58.220 material.
00:26:58.620 And the
00:26:59.080 parents are
00:26:59.520 saying,
00:26:59.960 it's a no.
00:27:01.100 I'll leave
00:27:01.500 you with this
00:27:01.960 and then we'll
00:27:02.220 squeeze in a
00:27:02.560 quick break.
00:27:03.260 The sub
00:27:03.660 headline in
00:27:04.180 that NPR
00:27:05.220 article we were
00:27:05.960 discussing about
00:27:06.560 all the poor,
00:27:07.200 dumb Asians,
00:27:07.980 really smart and
00:27:08.640 really dumb at
00:27:09.120 the same
00:27:09.360 time.
00:27:09.940 Sub headline
00:27:10.480 is the
00:27:11.360 promise of
00:27:12.100 proximity to
00:27:13.080 whiteness and
00:27:14.080 power has
00:27:15.140 radicalized some
00:27:16.280 Asian Americans
00:27:17.120 on the right.
00:27:18.720 This is what
00:27:19.100 they say about
00:27:19.600 people.
00:27:19.920 Same thing with
00:27:20.440 blacks who are
00:27:20.940 conservative.
00:27:21.840 You're power
00:27:22.580 adjacent and
00:27:23.260 women who
00:27:24.520 don't go along
00:27:25.240 with the
00:27:25.540 wokeness.
00:27:26.200 We're power
00:27:27.120 adjacent, you
00:27:28.420 see, because
00:27:28.740 we're close.
00:27:29.320 The men need
00:27:30.040 us.
00:27:30.720 So we're just
00:27:31.260 basically pandering
00:27:32.060 to the men
00:27:32.600 going along with
00:27:33.220 like there can
00:27:33.940 be no agency
00:27:34.800 for anybody who's
00:27:36.220 technically in a
00:27:36.900 minority or
00:27:37.820 targeted group.
00:27:38.540 We're all just
00:27:39.380 rubes being
00:27:40.500 forced to go
00:27:41.100 along with the
00:27:41.780 cis-normative
00:27:43.260 hetero white
00:27:44.280 patriarchy that
00:27:45.620 controls our
00:27:46.280 that's you,
00:27:47.060 Mark.
00:27:47.420 That is you,
00:27:48.300 sir.
00:27:48.800 I'll give you
00:27:49.000 the last word.
00:27:49.460 Yeah, it's
00:27:50.000 like a fancy
00:27:51.280 restaurant where
00:27:52.480 you can't, you're
00:27:53.420 never going to
00:27:53.920 make it to the
00:27:54.680 best table, but
00:27:56.220 they'll find one
00:27:58.040 that's adjacent.
00:27:59.640 You'll be like
00:28:00.880 power table
00:28:01.820 adjacent.
00:28:03.340 That's right.
00:28:04.980 And you'll sell
00:28:05.580 out your friends
00:28:06.240 who are back by
00:28:06.820 the bathrooms just
00:28:07.760 to move up a
00:28:08.520 little.
00:28:08.900 That's the theory
00:28:09.900 of life on the
00:28:11.080 left.
00:28:11.520 All right, Mark
00:28:11.920 Stein stays with
00:28:12.700 us.
00:28:13.060 A lot, lot more
00:28:13.780 to get to,
00:28:14.240 including what's
00:28:14.640 happening in
00:28:15.040 France and what's
00:28:15.960 happening with
00:28:16.740 Hunter Biden.
00:28:17.640 We'll get to
00:28:17.960 all of it next.
00:28:19.460 So, Mark, what
00:28:23.500 the heck's
00:28:23.900 happening over in
00:28:24.580 France?
00:28:25.140 As I understand
00:28:25.720 it, it started
00:28:27.020 with police
00:28:28.400 pulling over a
00:28:29.980 17-year-old man.
00:28:31.920 I think they,
00:28:32.700 I'm trying to
00:28:33.780 remember his exact
00:28:34.580 heritage, but
00:28:35.700 of Nigerian or
00:28:36.880 Moroccan descent.
00:28:38.320 They're Moroccan,
00:28:38.920 I think.
00:28:39.420 And he was
00:28:40.800 shot.
00:28:41.200 They shot him
00:28:41.900 and he, and
00:28:42.620 fatally, after he
00:28:44.000 had run a red
00:28:45.000 light and failed
00:28:46.000 to comply,
00:28:46.660 allegedly, when
00:28:47.200 they told him to
00:28:47.680 pull over.
00:28:48.380 And the thing
00:28:49.120 escalated, and
00:28:50.000 now it's, it's
00:28:51.340 turned into
00:28:52.080 several days of
00:28:53.980 fiery, violent
00:28:55.820 protests to the
00:28:56.680 point where
00:28:56.940 Macron had to
00:28:57.680 bring out 45,000
00:28:59.640 cops in France,
00:29:01.160 which is a big
00:29:01.740 number there, to
00:29:03.100 finally get some
00:29:04.000 sort of peace
00:29:04.560 going.
00:29:05.020 But it's still,
00:29:06.220 it's still been
00:29:06.800 pretty violent.
00:29:07.400 Now, I mean, like,
00:29:07.820 they have protests
00:29:08.700 in France a lot.
00:29:10.800 The history of the
00:29:11.580 country is to do
00:29:13.300 this kind of thing
00:29:14.160 when you're unhappy,
00:29:15.060 but it's
00:29:16.220 extraordinary, even
00:29:17.260 for France now.
00:29:18.760 And this sort of
00:29:20.200 gets at the heart
00:29:20.840 of what's happening
00:29:21.480 in France in
00:29:22.480 some other ways
00:29:23.420 with the
00:29:23.960 immigrant, and
00:29:25.120 in particular, the
00:29:25.860 Muslim community
00:29:26.480 there, that in
00:29:27.220 large measure
00:29:28.020 has not
00:29:28.960 assimilated, and
00:29:30.300 there are
00:29:30.620 resentments over
00:29:31.660 that, which are
00:29:32.520 now taking part
00:29:33.480 in some of the
00:29:33.900 news coverage.
00:29:34.440 So, what do you
00:29:35.400 make of it?
00:29:36.860 Well, I love
00:29:38.480 France.
00:29:40.000 As you know, I
00:29:41.100 had a heart
00:29:42.280 attack in
00:29:42.860 France, and
00:29:43.480 the French
00:29:44.060 medical system
00:29:45.000 saved my life.
00:29:46.340 I was within
00:29:47.180 15 minutes
00:29:48.300 of death, the
00:29:50.140 very charming
00:29:51.960 Provencal nurse
00:29:53.600 said to me.
00:29:54.440 So, I'm very
00:29:54.920 grateful to
00:29:55.600 France, and I
00:29:56.180 would regret it
00:29:56.900 if the French
00:29:58.420 state were to
00:29:59.160 collapse.
00:30:00.240 But you have
00:30:00.900 these, what
00:30:02.260 they call the
00:30:02.760 lost territories
00:30:03.720 of the Republic,
00:30:04.880 which are these
00:30:05.660 suburbs where
00:30:06.620 they warehouse
00:30:07.900 the immigrant
00:30:09.140 communities, as
00:30:10.100 you say, mostly
00:30:10.900 Muslim, and
00:30:11.660 basically the
00:30:12.380 writ of the
00:30:13.080 French state
00:30:13.760 does not run
00:30:14.760 there.
00:30:15.760 And when
00:30:16.040 these two
00:30:17.020 sides, the
00:30:17.920 French state
00:30:18.680 and then
00:30:19.380 Les Barneliers,
00:30:20.440 the immigrant
00:30:21.520 ghettos, when
00:30:22.680 they intersect
00:30:24.240 in bad ways, as
00:30:25.660 they did with
00:30:26.220 this 17-year-old
00:30:27.300 boy, these
00:30:28.260 guys are
00:30:28.740 bust out of
00:30:29.500 there, and
00:30:30.920 they're now
00:30:31.820 the totality of
00:30:32.780 the French
00:30:33.120 cities.
00:30:33.620 I think that
00:30:34.920 was the
00:30:35.220 Place de la
00:30:35.780 Concorde we
00:30:36.400 just said.
00:30:36.940 So, that's
00:30:37.320 the most part
00:30:38.340 of tourist
00:30:39.120 France.
00:30:40.280 The Champs
00:30:40.720 Elysees, the
00:30:41.960 great fashion
00:30:43.000 street, they're
00:30:44.020 going down
00:30:44.580 there, they're
00:30:45.340 looting, those
00:30:46.140 shops are all
00:30:46.900 boarded up, the
00:30:48.580 president has had
00:30:49.540 to cancel a
00:30:50.480 state visit to
00:30:51.680 Germany, and the
00:30:53.280 view on the
00:30:54.440 right is that
00:30:55.760 this stuff is
00:30:57.260 spiraling out of
00:30:58.500 control every time
00:30:59.660 it happens, and
00:31:01.180 that eventually it
00:31:03.300 will consume the
00:31:04.280 whole country.
00:31:05.000 Now, the left, on
00:31:06.700 the other hand,
00:31:07.400 feel it's all, you
00:31:08.220 know, the stuff
00:31:09.100 you hear, systemic
00:31:11.080 racism and all
00:31:12.900 the rest of it.
00:31:13.620 I was interested in
00:31:14.480 all the celebrities
00:31:15.460 who jumped in on
00:31:16.820 the side of this
00:31:17.960 17-year-old who
00:31:19.900 got shot.
00:31:21.520 In Annecy, which
00:31:23.620 is just south of
00:31:25.280 Geneva, about 40
00:31:26.740 minutes south of
00:31:27.460 Geneva, four
00:31:28.820 toddlers were
00:31:30.580 stabbed by a
00:31:33.060 Muslim immigrant
00:31:34.400 in a park
00:31:36.060 there, a
00:31:36.500 beautiful park.
00:31:37.380 I was in it
00:31:37.980 myself not so
00:31:38.880 long ago, standing
00:31:39.760 there looking at
00:31:40.480 the lake, looking
00:31:41.760 at the Alps
00:31:42.780 behind the lake
00:31:43.700 on the far side
00:31:44.460 and thinking, this
00:31:45.160 is about as far
00:31:46.080 from the woes of
00:31:46.860 the world as you
00:31:47.640 could ever get.
00:31:48.700 But it wasn't.
00:31:49.820 Some guy comes
00:31:50.820 in and he stabs
00:31:52.120 two- and three-year-old
00:31:54.220 children, and it's
00:31:55.520 interesting to me
00:31:56.440 that that doesn't
00:31:57.320 galvanize the media,
00:31:58.940 that doesn't get the
00:31:59.800 celebrity class
00:32:00.820 wanting to weigh
00:32:02.180 in on things.
00:32:04.340 So we're awfully
00:32:06.020 selective about
00:32:07.260 what matters
00:32:08.120 and what doesn't.
00:32:10.260 And that in
00:32:11.040 itself is causing
00:32:12.080 a whole level of
00:32:12.980 cynicism among
00:32:13.880 the French people.
00:32:16.020 Well, now the
00:32:16.560 left is trying to
00:32:17.320 use this incident
00:32:18.120 to sort of say
00:32:19.260 the French are
00:32:20.080 racist and they've
00:32:21.140 got a racism
00:32:21.660 problem that they
00:32:22.320 now finally have
00:32:23.200 to address.
00:32:23.740 The UN weighs
00:32:25.340 in, Mark, with
00:32:26.000 the following,
00:32:27.160 calling on France
00:32:28.360 to address its
00:32:29.240 quote, deep
00:32:29.920 issues of racism
00:32:30.980 and discrimination
00:32:31.760 in law enforcement.
00:32:33.580 The UN is in no
00:32:34.660 position to lecture
00:32:35.600 anyone on anything
00:32:37.140 relating to morality,
00:32:38.380 but this is the
00:32:39.620 new narrative that
00:32:40.420 France and its cops
00:32:41.700 are racists
00:32:43.240 and not looking
00:32:44.740 at, you know,
00:32:45.620 actual behavior
00:32:47.060 by, in this case,
00:32:48.740 a law, a lawbreaker.
00:32:50.120 I don't know why
00:32:50.720 he needed to be shot
00:32:51.800 or whether he didn't
00:32:52.560 need to be shot.
00:32:53.260 We'll figure that out,
00:32:54.260 but that's a law
00:32:54.780 enforcement investigation
00:32:55.840 and not so much
00:32:57.340 as you point out
00:32:58.080 about, for example,
00:32:59.620 what happened
00:33:00.120 with this,
00:33:00.760 with these rioters
00:33:01.660 who actually
00:33:03.320 seriously hurt
00:33:04.240 a suburban
00:33:05.940 Paris mayor's
00:33:07.380 home and wife.
00:33:08.860 Listen to this
00:33:09.600 from the BBC.
00:33:11.580 Attackers in France
00:33:12.320 tried to set fire
00:33:13.620 to the home
00:33:14.460 of a suburban
00:33:15.300 Paris mayor's
00:33:16.480 home overnight,
00:33:17.360 firing rockets
00:33:18.700 at the officials
00:33:19.960 fleeing wife
00:33:21.480 and children.
00:33:23.120 The wife,
00:33:24.020 the mayor,
00:33:24.960 Vincent,
00:33:25.880 was not home,
00:33:26.640 but his wife
00:33:27.140 suffered a broken
00:33:27.780 leg and a child
00:33:29.560 was also hurt
00:33:30.700 as she ran
00:33:31.540 with her two children
00:33:32.340 ages five and seven
00:33:33.500 from the home
00:33:34.400 and then they were
00:33:35.760 attacked by the mob
00:33:37.000 with firework rockets.
00:33:40.080 The mayor came out
00:33:40.600 and called it
00:33:41.440 an attempted murder
00:33:42.540 of unspeakable cowardice.
00:33:45.200 How this is not
00:33:45.980 the headline anywhere
00:33:46.960 is a mystery to me.
00:33:48.640 Instead, it's about
00:33:49.300 what a racist country
00:33:50.380 France is.
00:33:51.480 Well, the French police
00:33:53.620 are not in the least
00:33:55.880 bit racist
00:33:56.960 in the sense
00:33:58.180 the UN means.
00:33:59.480 I spent a lot of time
00:34:00.760 in that terrible year,
00:34:02.060 whatever it was,
00:34:02.660 five or six years ago,
00:34:03.840 when the truck
00:34:05.000 mowed down
00:34:06.020 all those people
00:34:07.320 on Bastille Day
00:34:08.700 in France
00:34:09.780 and when the priest
00:34:11.640 was decapitated
00:34:13.480 as he was saying mass.
00:34:17.160 And it was a terrible
00:34:18.420 year in France
00:34:19.240 and I went to places
00:34:20.280 I wouldn't normally
00:34:20.960 go to
00:34:21.600 and I was very
00:34:22.260 interested in the police.
00:34:23.480 A lot more of them
00:34:24.660 of the police officers
00:34:26.080 are black and Muslim
00:34:27.640 than you would expect.
00:34:29.340 That was one of my
00:34:30.340 first impressions.
00:34:31.980 The second impression
00:34:32.840 is that they were
00:34:33.580 completely stressed out
00:34:35.680 at being on a kind
00:34:37.100 of permanent red alert
00:34:38.720 trying to hold
00:34:39.900 the lid
00:34:40.620 on the powder keg.
00:34:41.960 and there was
00:34:43.980 a slightly absurd
00:34:45.020 I went to
00:34:47.060 San for pay
00:34:48.260 and you know
00:34:48.900 on the nude beaches
00:34:50.120 there.
00:34:50.560 There's all these
00:34:51.200 I was there
00:34:51.760 literally one week ago.
00:34:53.600 Yeah.
00:34:53.920 And it's all very nice
00:34:55.720 and people are
00:34:56.680 lying there
00:34:57.560 on the nude beaches
00:34:58.740 nude
00:34:59.480 and then there's
00:35:00.620 guys in the full
00:35:01.900 Robocop
00:35:02.800 patrolling among them
00:35:04.600 with machine guns.
00:35:06.400 And you know
00:35:08.760 for me
00:35:09.240 when I think
00:35:10.400 of San for pay
00:35:11.160 it's like always
00:35:12.200 1967
00:35:13.240 and Brigitte Bardot
00:35:14.700 and so I'm trying
00:35:15.380 to wrap my head
00:35:16.420 around this
00:35:17.060 new look
00:35:17.940 San for pay
00:35:18.720 and that's
00:35:21.200 the problem.
00:35:21.880 There's a
00:35:22.300 contradiction here.
00:35:24.760 The cynics
00:35:25.560 at the top level
00:35:26.560 of the French state
00:35:27.500 think you can
00:35:28.440 hold this.
00:35:29.320 You can keep
00:35:30.240 these people
00:35:30.980 in these awful
00:35:32.040 which are
00:35:32.740 absolutely terrible
00:35:33.780 ugly
00:35:34.320 the ugliest
00:35:35.680 public housing
00:35:36.620 I think even
00:35:37.240 uglier than
00:35:37.980 you know
00:35:38.320 Cabrini Green
00:35:39.220 or whatever
00:35:39.700 in Chicago
00:35:40.440 terrible
00:35:41.020 lifeless
00:35:41.940 soulless places
00:35:43.000 but the French
00:35:44.380 make the point
00:35:44.920 well you know
00:35:45.620 the Portuguese
00:35:46.680 and the Spanish
00:35:47.600 lived there
00:35:48.320 in the 50s
00:35:49.020 and 60s
00:35:49.780 and they managed
00:35:50.860 to bust out
00:35:51.680 of there
00:35:52.000 and get
00:35:53.380 themselves
00:35:53.880 a better life
00:35:54.760 so it's not
00:35:55.580 our fault
00:35:56.320 and they can't
00:35:57.480 hold the lid
00:36:00.500 on this
00:36:01.180 because as you
00:36:02.760 as you say
00:36:03.560 in that story
00:36:04.360 of the attack
00:36:05.140 on the mayor's
00:36:06.400 wife
00:36:07.000 and the mayor's
00:36:08.000 children
00:36:08.560 when the blood
00:36:09.960 lust is up
00:36:10.900 there are no
00:36:11.620 restraints here
00:36:12.780 you know
00:36:14.960 it's just a part
00:36:16.220 of a bigger
00:36:16.660 problem right
00:36:17.300 they've had
00:36:17.660 mass migration
00:36:18.440 into France
00:36:19.420 there is a
00:36:20.580 large community
00:36:21.260 of people
00:36:21.660 that refuses
00:36:22.200 to assimilate
00:36:23.020 Ayaan Hirsi Ali
00:36:23.960 has written an
00:36:24.560 entire book
00:36:25.100 about what's
00:36:25.640 happening
00:36:25.920 not just in
00:36:26.420 France
00:36:26.640 but other
00:36:27.000 European countries
00:36:27.740 there's resentment
00:36:29.020 at not the
00:36:30.220 different color
00:36:31.660 of the people
00:36:32.400 coming in
00:36:32.980 but at their
00:36:33.620 refusal to adopt
00:36:34.720 French culture
00:36:35.420 if you want to
00:36:35.920 move to France
00:36:36.680 then act like
00:36:38.720 a Frenchman
00:36:39.260 you know
00:36:39.520 you cannot force
00:36:40.220 your values
00:36:41.200 and morals
00:36:41.740 about the way
00:36:42.240 women dress
00:36:42.860 and so on
00:36:43.400 on us
00:36:43.960 and it's
00:36:45.620 festering now
00:36:46.500 and this is
00:36:47.060 just one way
00:36:48.200 in which it
00:36:48.660 appears to be
00:36:49.180 manifesting
00:36:49.780 it's dark
00:36:50.580 we'll see
00:36:51.000 I will say
00:36:51.420 one other thing
00:36:52.140 Elton John
00:36:53.560 who just publicly
00:36:54.460 announced
00:36:54.860 I guess
00:36:55.280 he's not going
00:36:55.780 to come to
00:36:56.360 the United States
00:36:57.000 anymore
00:36:57.320 because of our
00:36:57.980 LGBTQ
00:36:58.960 policies here
00:37:00.900 were not left
00:37:01.720 enough for him
00:37:02.420 he was fine
00:37:03.400 partying with
00:37:03.940 Macron
00:37:04.200 he doesn't care
00:37:05.160 like I guess
00:37:05.900 the police
00:37:06.300 shooting
00:37:06.620 that's fine
00:37:07.400 that's where
00:37:07.860 he doesn't
00:37:08.480 draw the line
00:37:09.100 and Macron
00:37:09.920 like a dope
00:37:10.700 went out
00:37:11.100 and was caught
00:37:12.420 on camera
00:37:13.020 partying with
00:37:13.640 Elton John
00:37:14.080 while his
00:37:14.480 country was
00:37:15.320 burning
00:37:15.780 which is just
00:37:16.680 a stupid ass
00:37:17.620 thing to do
00:37:18.120 Mark
00:37:18.460 no absolutely
00:37:20.080 perfect
00:37:20.600 the thing I
00:37:22.040 quite like
00:37:22.600 about Macron
00:37:23.140 is that he's
00:37:24.060 not a man
00:37:24.580 of the people
00:37:25.120 he stands
00:37:25.820 on his
00:37:26.240 dignity
00:37:26.720 he thinks
00:37:27.640 he's
00:37:28.360 Monsieur le
00:37:28.940 président
00:37:29.380 de la
00:37:29.920 République
00:37:30.420 and you
00:37:30.880 have to
00:37:31.400 treat him
00:37:32.160 with the
00:37:32.440 appropriate
00:37:32.880 dignity
00:37:33.380 and then
00:37:34.080 he's just
00:37:34.480 like this
00:37:34.900 pathetic
00:37:35.240 little fan
00:37:36.100 boy
00:37:36.420 over
00:37:38.140 Sir Elton
00:37:39.340 oh I've
00:37:40.160 got to get
00:37:40.440 backstage
00:37:41.000 and have my
00:37:41.440 picture taken
00:37:42.080 with Elton
00:37:42.680 which I think
00:37:44.180 was
00:37:44.460 I like
00:37:46.440 Elton
00:37:47.380 God bless
00:37:48.280 him
00:37:48.500 but he has
00:37:49.380 like a huge
00:37:50.580 blind spot
00:37:52.320 on certain
00:37:53.640 issues
00:37:55.600 issues
00:37:55.940 and I
00:37:57.380 think this
00:37:57.840 is
00:37:58.180 who was
00:37:59.080 it
00:37:59.200 he fell
00:37:59.540 out
00:37:59.780 with
00:38:00.120 Dolce
00:38:01.880 and Gabbana
00:38:02.560 when he
00:38:02.980 fell out
00:38:03.400 with them
00:38:03.960 he had
00:38:04.900 some big
00:38:05.280 falling out
00:38:05.860 with them
00:38:06.240 and he
00:38:06.740 kept it
00:38:07.160 up for
00:38:07.460 about two
00:38:08.040 weeks
00:38:08.480 and then
00:38:08.860 he was
00:38:09.140 seen
00:38:09.560 in dark
00:38:10.460 glasses
00:38:10.940 surreptitiously
00:38:11.880 slipping into
00:38:12.860 the Dolce
00:38:13.940 and whatever
00:38:14.640 it was
00:38:15.060 whatever
00:38:15.360 Italian
00:38:15.960 store
00:38:16.440 it was
00:38:17.020 and I
00:38:18.120 think that's
00:38:18.620 how his
00:38:19.000 boycott of
00:38:19.600 America
00:38:20.040 is going
00:38:20.840 to be
00:38:21.280 his
00:38:25.000 co-writer
00:38:26.640 Bernie
00:38:27.080 Torpin
00:38:27.740 lives
00:38:28.740 in the
00:38:29.200 United
00:38:29.560 States
00:38:30.160 and keeps
00:38:30.820 writing
00:38:31.180 all these
00:38:31.660 songs
00:38:32.000 like
00:38:32.320 Philadelphia
00:38:32.820 Freedom
00:38:33.700 so half
00:38:35.400 of Elton's
00:38:36.140 catalogue
00:38:36.880 is going
00:38:37.740 to be
00:38:38.120 singing
00:38:39.080 show tunes
00:38:40.020 for an
00:38:41.120 hour and
00:38:41.460 a half
00:38:41.820 in the
00:38:42.180 evening
00:38:42.540 if you
00:38:43.280 eliminate
00:38:43.600 all the
00:38:44.300 songs of
00:38:44.960 his
00:38:45.240 that aren't
00:38:46.040 praising
00:38:46.440 America
00:38:47.000 I mean
00:38:48.360 I was at
00:38:49.400 Rush Limbaugh's
00:38:50.280 wedding
00:38:50.560 where Elton
00:38:51.320 John
00:38:51.700 performed
00:38:52.280 and Rush
00:38:53.340 wasn't
00:38:53.720 exactly
00:38:54.160 a leader
00:38:54.960 of the
00:38:55.600 LGBTQ
00:38:56.160 community
00:38:57.140 Elton
00:38:58.040 seemed to
00:38:58.640 cash the
00:38:59.140 check
00:38:59.420 and have
00:38:59.780 no problem
00:39:00.520 with it
00:39:01.040 and I
00:39:01.860 predict
00:39:02.260 that's how
00:39:02.760 his future
00:39:03.300 activism
00:39:03.960 in this
00:39:04.320 lane
00:39:04.500 is going
00:39:04.780 to go
00:39:05.080 as well
00:39:05.680 if there's
00:39:06.460 a willing
00:39:06.880 participant
00:39:07.420 to pay
00:39:07.880 for the
00:39:08.140 tickets
00:39:08.500 he'll be
00:39:09.220 there
00:39:09.480 okay
00:39:10.320 let's
00:39:10.620 switch
00:39:10.820 and spend
00:39:11.300 a minute
00:39:11.520 on domestic
00:39:12.080 politics
00:39:12.480 here in
00:39:13.080 the
00:39:13.340 States
00:39:13.680 because
00:39:14.160 everywhere
00:39:15.280 over the
00:39:15.900 weekend
00:39:16.080 I don't
00:39:16.400 know if
00:39:16.640 you saw
00:39:16.900 but everywhere
00:39:17.460 was this
00:39:18.560 ad
00:39:19.400 promoting
00:39:20.160 Ron
00:39:20.580 DeSantis
00:39:21.060 as this
00:39:21.820 culture
00:39:22.260 warrior
00:39:22.720 fighting
00:39:23.180 the
00:39:23.880 LGBTQ
00:39:24.340 agenda
00:39:25.100 and
00:39:25.960 calling
00:39:26.340 out
00:39:26.600 Trump
00:39:27.120 for being
00:39:27.660 more
00:39:27.940 sympathetic
00:39:28.500 to the
00:39:29.000 agenda
00:39:29.380 my
00:39:29.920 understanding
00:39:30.240 is this
00:39:30.580 is not
00:39:30.860 a DeSantis
00:39:31.460 ad
00:39:32.140 but his
00:39:32.620 campaign
00:39:33.080 war room
00:39:33.740 retweeted it
00:39:35.260 and thus
00:39:36.100 it's been
00:39:36.460 hung around
00:39:37.400 his neck
00:39:38.420 so far
00:39:39.580 it doesn't
00:39:39.860 seem like
00:39:40.220 team DeSantis
00:39:40.820 minds
00:39:41.720 here is
00:39:43.060 we can play
00:39:43.680 the whole
00:39:43.940 thing
00:39:44.120 it's only
00:39:44.420 a minute
00:39:44.800 here is
00:39:45.560 the ad
00:39:46.140 the bit
00:39:47.560 that's
00:39:48.480 causing
00:39:48.800 all the
00:39:49.180 controversy
00:39:49.680 I will
00:39:51.660 do
00:39:51.900 everything
00:39:52.600 in my
00:39:53.300 power
00:39:53.800 to protect
00:39:55.360 our
00:39:56.440 LGBTQ
00:39:58.020 citizens
00:39:59.160 if Caitlyn
00:39:59.860 Jenner were
00:40:00.400 to walk
00:40:00.740 into Trump
00:40:01.220 Tower
00:40:01.560 and want
00:40:02.640 to use
00:40:02.940 the bathroom
00:40:03.500 you would
00:40:04.020 be fine
00:40:04.560 with her
00:40:04.960 using
00:40:05.420 any
00:40:06.080 bathroom
00:40:06.540 she
00:40:06.860 chooses
00:40:07.260 in the
00:40:08.400 future
00:40:08.820 can
00:40:09.340 transgender
00:40:10.020 women
00:40:10.600 compete
00:40:11.580 in this
00:40:12.420 universe
00:40:12.820 yes
00:40:13.300 make
00:40:13.820 America
00:40:14.420 okay so
00:40:22.340 now for
00:40:22.660 the listening
00:40:23.080 audience
00:40:23.500 they're
00:40:23.740 showing
00:40:24.200 clips
00:40:25.280 of
00:40:25.480 DeSantis
00:40:26.100 comparing
00:40:26.980 him to
00:40:27.360 Christian
00:40:27.660 Bale's
00:40:28.080 American
00:40:28.400 Psycho
00:40:29.260 looking like
00:40:30.240 Tom
00:40:30.820 Tom Cruise
00:40:31.500 in Top
00:40:32.000 Gun
00:40:32.360 the Wolf
00:40:33.580 of Wall
00:40:33.980 Street
00:40:34.260 the real
00:40:34.940 wolf
00:40:35.160 is here
00:40:35.400 I'll do
00:40:35.740 you the
00:40:36.000 favor of
00:40:36.360 not playing
00:40:36.740 you the
00:40:36.960 whole song
00:40:37.400 because it
00:40:37.880 is impossible
00:40:38.440 to get
00:40:38.780 it out
00:40:39.000 of your
00:40:39.180 head
00:40:39.460 after you
00:40:40.180 listen to
00:40:40.700 it
00:40:40.880 and now
00:40:42.000 Mark
00:40:42.380 we have
00:40:43.060 even some
00:40:43.920 on the
00:40:44.200 right
00:40:44.560 like
00:40:45.180 Rick
00:40:45.460 Grinnell
00:40:45.940 who's
00:40:46.300 a
00:40:46.400 Trump
00:40:46.600 guy
00:40:46.920 log cabin
00:40:47.880 Republicans
00:40:48.420 who are
00:40:49.200 gay
00:40:49.640 Republicans
00:40:50.160 who have
00:40:50.600 you know
00:40:51.040 sort of
00:40:51.340 formed
00:40:51.720 a group
00:40:53.020 and I
00:40:53.800 think they're
00:40:54.140 also pro
00:40:54.600 Trump
00:40:54.940 but they're
00:40:55.900 calling this
00:40:56.500 extremely and
00:40:57.400 utterly
00:40:57.680 homophobic
00:40:59.380 team DeSantis
00:41:00.640 doesn't seem to
00:41:01.340 think so
00:41:01.680 what do you
00:41:01.880 make of it
00:41:02.320 well
00:41:03.880 I think
00:41:05.260 it's
00:41:06.340 Trump is
00:41:07.200 vulnerable
00:41:07.600 on this
00:41:08.140 because when
00:41:08.800 he's with
00:41:09.420 an audience
00:41:10.100 he
00:41:10.580 generally wants
00:41:11.900 them to
00:41:12.280 like them
00:41:12.740 so if you
00:41:13.220 put him
00:41:13.540 in front
00:41:13.860 of a
00:41:14.100 gay
00:41:14.300 audience
00:41:14.840 he'll
00:41:15.580 be
00:41:15.860 saying
00:41:16.340 things
00:41:16.720 to
00:41:16.920 them
00:41:17.200 that
00:41:17.600 are
00:41:17.780 pro
00:41:18.100 gay
00:41:18.400 the
00:41:18.740 Caitlyn
00:41:20.680 Jenner
00:41:21.240 line
00:41:21.920 about he
00:41:23.480 didn't care
00:41:24.040 which
00:41:24.360 bathroom
00:41:25.060 Caitlyn
00:41:25.880 Jenner
00:41:26.500 used
00:41:27.000 I think
00:41:27.360 that is
00:41:27.860 a
00:41:28.040 you know
00:41:28.780 he didn't
00:41:29.520 foresee
00:41:30.040 that that
00:41:30.700 was going
00:41:31.100 to become
00:41:31.580 the dominant
00:41:32.700 issue
00:41:33.300 so that
00:41:33.820 we're all
00:41:34.220 going to be
00:41:34.640 talking about
00:41:35.320 transgender
00:41:36.160 bathrooms
00:41:36.780 when the
00:41:37.360 mullers
00:41:37.780 nuke us
00:41:38.480 that's just
00:41:39.000 the way
00:41:39.500 our politics
00:41:40.260 has become
00:41:40.920 because the
00:41:41.460 left
00:41:41.740 has decided
00:41:42.820 it's in
00:41:43.380 favor of
00:41:44.180 abolishing
00:41:45.000 biological
00:41:46.120 sex
00:41:47.200 which is a
00:41:47.800 huge thing
00:41:48.460 and it's
00:41:49.220 actually bigger
00:41:49.880 than whether
00:41:50.360 you get a
00:41:50.860 cut in
00:41:51.440 capital gains
00:41:52.380 tax or
00:41:52.920 whatever
00:41:53.200 it is something
00:41:54.380 that should be
00:41:54.900 discussed
00:41:55.340 politically
00:41:55.880 and the
00:41:56.840 point for
00:41:57.420 DeSantis
00:41:58.020 is that he's
00:41:59.140 had huge
00:42:00.360 success with
00:42:01.400 this in
00:42:02.400 Florida
00:42:02.780 so he's
00:42:03.540 perceived as
00:42:04.240 someone who
00:42:04.920 can be
00:42:05.460 opportunist
00:42:06.380 on woke
00:42:07.260 issues
00:42:07.660 and it
00:42:07.980 gets
00:42:08.220 results
00:42:08.700 for him
00:42:09.120 what I
00:42:09.840 find
00:42:10.140 more
00:42:10.460 what I
00:42:11.420 find
00:42:11.600 interesting
00:42:12.000 about
00:42:12.280 DeSantis
00:42:12.760 is the
00:42:13.220 last time
00:42:13.640 I checked
00:42:14.120 the
00:42:14.520 you know
00:42:15.800 poll of
00:42:16.280 polls
00:42:16.780 at Real
00:42:17.280 Clear
00:42:17.520 Politics
00:42:18.020 he was
00:42:18.820 averaging
00:42:19.260 I think
00:42:19.720 something
00:42:20.040 like 21%
00:42:21.280 in the
00:42:22.980 the poll of
00:42:24.060 polls
00:42:24.360 which is
00:42:24.780 30 and
00:42:25.940 40 points
00:42:26.940 behind Trump
00:42:27.640 yeah
00:42:28.500 which is
00:42:29.320 incredible
00:42:29.840 to me
00:42:30.360 because he
00:42:30.940 is
00:42:31.160 I mean
00:42:31.680 all the
00:42:32.020 other guys
00:42:32.620 you know
00:42:33.080 Asa
00:42:33.540 Hutchinson
00:42:34.480 and Pence
00:42:35.340 these guys
00:42:35.880 are jokes
00:42:36.420 they shouldn't
00:42:36.840 be running
00:42:37.300 but DeSantis
00:42:38.780 ought to be
00:42:39.640 a credible
00:42:40.200 character
00:42:40.960 and I
00:42:41.400 can't
00:42:41.980 in that
00:42:42.520 sense
00:42:42.860 it must
00:42:43.820 be depressing
00:42:44.780 to his
00:42:45.880 guys
00:42:46.320 that he's
00:42:47.060 down there
00:42:47.800 at 20%
00:42:48.740 as you say
00:42:49.260 30 or 40
00:42:50.060 points
00:42:50.680 behind Trump
00:42:52.800 what Trump
00:42:54.160 had in
00:42:54.800 2015
00:42:56.360 when he came
00:42:57.120 down that
00:42:57.600 escalator
00:42:58.240 and he
00:42:58.620 started talking
00:42:59.340 about Mexico
00:43:00.060 not sending
00:43:00.940 its best
00:43:02.100 is he was
00:43:03.120 actually talking
00:43:04.120 about
00:43:04.680 you know
00:43:05.780 to people
00:43:07.400 or you
00:43:08.220 know
00:43:08.360 if you
00:43:08.580 go 50
00:43:09.920 miles
00:43:10.280 in any
00:43:10.720 direction
00:43:11.200 from where
00:43:12.460 I am
00:43:12.940 right now
00:43:13.340 well not
00:43:13.700 50 miles
00:43:14.560 north
00:43:14.820 because you'll
00:43:15.260 hit the
00:43:15.940 Quebec border
00:43:16.600 and things
00:43:17.700 are rather
00:43:18.080 better up
00:43:18.600 there
00:43:18.760 but you'll
00:43:19.200 see towns
00:43:19.940 that are
00:43:20.280 totally
00:43:20.560 depressed
00:43:21.100 the mills
00:43:22.300 have closed
00:43:22.700 the factories
00:43:23.260 have closed
00:43:23.980 there's guys
00:43:24.780 that you
00:43:26.480 can't move
00:43:27.180 out of there
00:43:27.740 because you're
00:43:28.220 underwater on
00:43:28.920 your house
00:43:29.460 because you
00:43:30.180 bought your
00:43:30.540 house for
00:43:31.020 300 grand
00:43:31.940 and it's
00:43:32.440 now worth
00:43:32.880 120 grand
00:43:34.080 and your
00:43:35.700 daughter
00:43:36.560 does the
00:43:37.080 night shift
00:43:37.580 at the
00:43:37.880 quickie
00:43:38.240 crap
00:43:38.540 and your
00:43:40.000 son
00:43:40.360 runs a
00:43:42.340 meth lab
00:43:42.880 because frankly
00:43:43.780 that's a lot
00:43:44.380 more interesting
00:43:45.180 as a career
00:43:46.160 and Trump
00:43:48.380 spoke to
00:43:49.540 all those
00:43:50.820 diminished
00:43:51.740 demoralized
00:43:53.180 screwed
00:43:53.980 communities
00:43:54.840 the forgotten
00:43:55.940 man
00:43:56.560 as we would
00:43:58.140 have said
00:43:58.620 90 years
00:43:59.920 ago
00:44:00.260 and this
00:44:02.040 what's
00:44:02.460 happening
00:44:02.860 he's
00:44:04.520 best
00:44:04.940 when he
00:44:05.360 does
00:44:05.740 that
00:44:06.120 and this
00:44:07.020 other
00:44:07.260 side
00:44:07.640 of him
00:44:07.980 which is
00:44:08.400 basically
00:44:08.860 the
00:44:09.100 metropolitan
00:44:09.680 Manhattan
00:44:10.780 liberal
00:44:11.280 who went
00:44:12.640 to Hillary's
00:44:13.380 wedding
00:44:13.740 and all the
00:44:14.400 rest of it
00:44:14.900 yeah he doesn't
00:44:15.540 care about
00:44:16.040 gays
00:44:16.600 he doesn't
00:44:16.980 care about
00:44:17.700 race
00:44:18.120 he lives
00:44:19.680 on 5th
00:44:20.480 avenue
00:44:20.840 do you think
00:44:21.220 he's never
00:44:21.660 met a
00:44:22.140 homosexual
00:44:22.760 so obviously
00:44:24.500 that's not
00:44:25.100 a big deal
00:44:26.880 to him
00:44:27.440 but I'm not
00:44:28.640 sure
00:44:28.900 Rick Grinnell
00:44:30.100 is openly gay
00:44:31.520 and was the
00:44:31.880 first openly
00:44:32.340 gay cabinet
00:44:32.880 member
00:44:33.220 yeah and
00:44:34.520 actually I
00:44:35.160 think he
00:44:36.180 used to
00:44:36.640 open in
00:44:37.400 those days
00:44:37.960 Trump used
00:44:38.520 to open
00:44:38.900 his rallies
00:44:39.600 with Elton
00:44:41.180 whom we
00:44:41.660 were mentioning
00:44:42.280 singing
00:44:43.120 tiny dancer
00:44:44.400 and I
00:44:45.840 said I
00:44:46.260 was trying
00:44:46.520 to work
00:44:46.860 out because
00:44:47.140 he had
00:44:47.340 Andrew Lloyd
00:44:48.060 Webber
00:44:48.600 from
00:44:49.920 Phantom of
00:44:50.400 the Opera
00:44:50.740 and he
00:44:51.080 had something
00:44:51.540 else there
00:44:52.080 and I
00:44:52.760 said I've
00:44:53.280 worked out
00:44:53.800 what it
00:44:54.200 is I
00:44:54.600 said to
00:44:54.960 him
00:44:55.160 backstage
00:44:55.620 I said
00:44:56.360 these are
00:44:57.300 all this
00:44:58.160 is all
00:44:58.560 music by
00:44:59.360 tenants at
00:45:00.260 Trump Tower
00:45:01.160 and he
00:45:02.480 congratulated
00:45:03.680 me
00:45:04.180 he
00:45:06.700 could be
00:45:07.060 yeah that's
00:45:07.500 true
00:45:07.800 Andrew
00:45:08.280 has the
00:45:10.520 penthouse
00:45:11.160 and I
00:45:11.480 think
00:45:11.800 Steven Spielberg
00:45:13.040 is on the
00:45:13.520 floor below
00:45:14.120 and I
00:45:15.600 and I
00:45:18.200 that's just
00:45:18.940 how he is
00:45:19.640 he doesn't
00:45:20.180 he doesn't
00:45:20.840 think about
00:45:21.460 these things
00:45:22.260 because he's
00:45:23.300 in he's in
00:45:24.280 man you can't
00:45:25.200 walk down
00:45:25.860 that street
00:45:26.700 you can't
00:45:27.940 do business
00:45:28.640 in that
00:45:29.260 town without
00:45:29.860 being relaxed
00:45:30.940 about that
00:45:31.680 stuff and I
00:45:32.780 think it's
00:45:33.200 different for
00:45:33.960 Ron what
00:45:34.540 Ron DeSantis
00:45:35.700 needs to
00:45:36.500 do I
00:45:37.660 think I'm
00:45:38.720 surprised he's
00:45:39.620 just at
00:45:40.440 20% but
00:45:41.860 he hasn't
00:45:43.200 sort of
00:45:43.700 fused all
00:45:44.720 the wokery
00:45:45.460 into some
00:45:47.240 kind of
00:45:47.860 larger vision
00:45:48.700 you know I'm
00:45:49.460 I'm concerned
00:45:50.320 about the
00:45:50.780 woke I mean
00:45:51.220 basically I'm
00:45:51.840 concerned because
00:45:52.380 western
00:45:53.040 civilization is
00:45:54.580 sliding off a
00:45:55.560 cliff and
00:45:56.080 we're all
00:45:56.560 going to
00:45:56.800 land in a
00:45:57.240 big heap
00:45:57.620 of rubble
00:45:58.120 at the
00:45:58.700 bottom but
00:45:59.240 you've got
00:45:59.600 it if you're
00:46:00.040 going to go
00:46:00.900 there you
00:46:01.520 have to
00:46:02.000 sort of
00:46:02.440 connect oh
00:46:03.500 did you see
00:46:04.000 this wacky
00:46:04.700 woke thing
00:46:05.280 that's in
00:46:05.820 the paper
00:46:06.180 today you've
00:46:07.060 got you it's
00:46:07.680 not enough to
00:46:08.320 do that you've
00:46:08.920 got to connect
00:46:09.640 it to a
00:46:10.620 larger vision
00:46:11.500 of what the
00:46:13.120 underlying thing
00:46:14.040 is I feel
00:46:15.920 like Trump
00:46:16.360 hasn't really
00:46:16.900 been asked
00:46:17.700 about this
00:46:18.460 you know at
00:46:19.120 that pointless
00:46:19.940 CNN town
00:46:20.880 hall she
00:46:22.060 wanted to
00:46:22.560 spend the
00:46:22.920 entire time
00:46:23.740 asking about
00:46:24.540 the 2020
00:46:25.220 election and
00:46:26.120 stuff that
00:46:26.560 liberals want
00:46:27.240 to hear and
00:46:28.320 there there
00:46:28.960 was nothing
00:46:29.860 for the
00:46:30.480 conservative
00:46:30.900 audience that
00:46:31.740 does have
00:46:32.220 these concerns
00:46:32.920 it would have
00:46:33.820 been interesting
00:46:34.340 and news making
00:46:35.140 for her to
00:46:35.780 see where he
00:46:36.400 stands now on
00:46:37.700 things like
00:46:38.140 transgender
00:46:38.700 bathrooms Trump
00:46:40.140 hasn't really had
00:46:40.880 that put to
00:46:41.440 him I you
00:46:43.060 know I haven't
00:46:43.660 asked for Trump
00:46:44.400 and I've been
00:46:45.000 asking for
00:46:45.420 DeSantis because
00:46:45.980 I've never I've
00:46:46.840 never talked to
00:46:47.460 DeSantis but I
00:46:48.580 have talked to
00:46:49.120 Trump but I'm
00:46:49.900 going to ask
00:46:50.220 for Trump I'm
00:46:51.240 going to ask
00:46:51.500 for Trump too
00:46:51.980 because I'd love
00:46:52.820 to go over some
00:46:53.440 of this stuff
00:46:53.760 with him and see
00:46:54.200 whether his
00:46:54.580 position has
00:46:55.060 evolved as
00:46:55.800 my own has
00:46:56.520 in 2015 if
00:46:57.560 you were going
00:46:57.800 to listen to
00:46:58.160 me talk about
00:46:58.840 bathrooms you
00:46:59.720 would have heard
00:47:00.020 very different
00:47:00.600 messaging than
00:47:01.600 today for the
00:47:02.620 very reasons you
00:47:03.340 just outlined
00:47:03.980 Mark yeah
00:47:05.420 no I think I
00:47:06.320 agree I well
00:47:07.240 my view on my
00:47:08.740 view on it has
00:47:09.800 has also changed
00:47:10.960 mainly because the
00:47:11.720 only people I
00:47:13.160 ever knew who
00:47:13.920 were transsexuals
00:47:15.360 as we said
00:47:16.040 back then
00:47:17.260 were in
00:47:18.860 showbiz and it
00:47:19.880 seemed like a
00:47:20.760 it seemed to
00:47:21.840 go with the
00:47:22.240 kind of heightened
00:47:23.040 reality of
00:47:24.880 show business
00:47:26.400 and so I
00:47:27.000 thought of it
00:47:27.800 like that now
00:47:28.440 when I see
00:47:29.080 sad middle
00:47:30.060 school girls
00:47:31.040 transitioning to
00:47:32.080 boys into
00:47:32.960 boys and having
00:47:34.300 their breasts
00:47:35.200 amputated and
00:47:36.240 putting up
00:47:36.780 pictures of them
00:47:37.500 with their scars
00:47:38.160 on the internet
00:47:38.800 I think we're
00:47:39.680 witnessing some
00:47:40.500 vast human
00:47:41.620 tragedy here I
00:47:43.380 don't care about
00:47:43.980 Caitlyn Jenner
00:47:44.720 Caitlyn Jenner's
00:47:45.720 rich enough to
00:47:46.520 survive whatever
00:47:48.040 is going on but
00:47:50.220 these poor middle
00:47:50.980 school girls across
00:47:52.160 America are not
00:47:53.360 yeah and I think
00:47:55.220 Caitlyn's been
00:47:55.740 fighting on our
00:47:56.680 side on these
00:47:57.440 issues but I
00:47:58.740 think Caitlyn would
00:47:59.420 be the first to
00:47:59.860 agree with you
00:48:00.540 that Caitlyn can
00:48:01.580 handle Caitlyn's
00:48:02.580 own battles
00:48:03.500 Mark Stein is
00:48:04.600 always a pleasure
00:48:05.700 thank you for
00:48:06.300 being here

00:48:11.240 July you're one
00:48:12.640 of my favorite
00:48:13.980 favorite rebel
00:48:15.060 colonials
00:48:15.940 I'm looking
00:48:18.800 forward to it as
00:48:19.520 well talk to you
00:48:20.200 soon I hope and
00:48:20.980 don't forget folks

00:48:26.760 all our friends in
00:48:27.340 costume reading the
00:48:28.100 declaration of
00:48:28.600 independence doing
00:48:29.180 other wacky things
00:48:29.940 on Wednesday
00:48:30.720 GB news presenter
00:48:36.260 that's our those
00:48:37.360 are our friends over
00:48:38.040 in the UK trying to
00:48:39.200 make Great Britain a
00:48:40.260 little bit more fair
00:48:40.880 and balanced
00:48:41.420 GB news presenter
00:48:43.220 Darren Grimes is
00:48:44.160 with me now for the
00:48:45.180 very first time on
00:48:45.920 the show
00:48:46.260 Darren welcome to
00:48:47.460 the show
00:48:47.840 Megan it's an
00:48:48.740 absolute pleasure to
00:48:49.460 be with you thank
00:48:50.280 you very much
00:48:51.060 oh the pleasure is
00:48:52.640 all mine so let me
00:48:53.820 just kick it off with
00:48:54.500 a quick question about
00:48:55.220 France since you're a
00:48:56.240 lot closer to France
00:48:56.980 than we are and
00:48:58.240 your take on what
00:48:59.020 what is actually
00:49:00.160 behind this you
00:49:01.440 know what five days
00:49:02.440 of protest here
00:49:03.240 I mean ultimately
00:49:05.280 Megan the the death
00:49:07.020 of this 17 year old
00:49:08.940 guy if you are told
00:49:11.520 by a police officer
00:49:12.620 I'm sure even in
00:49:13.980 America as well as
00:49:14.880 Britain we agree on
00:49:15.920 this that if you are
00:49:17.320 told by an armed
00:49:19.200 officer of the law
00:49:20.540 not to drive off in
00:49:22.920 your vehicle then you
00:49:25.240 should not drive off in
00:49:26.980 your vehicle and what's
00:49:29.440 happened now I think
00:49:30.540 this the death of this
00:49:31.900 young guy is being used
00:49:34.360 as an excuse to loot to
00:49:36.560 destroy to burn and to
00:49:39.080 steal and there can be no
00:49:40.880 justification for that
00:49:42.680 much of a breach a
00:49:44.080 breakdown of the rule
00:49:45.880 of law because
00:49:47.040 ultimately Megan if you
00:49:48.040 live in France if you
00:49:49.100 want to live in France
00:49:50.200 you ought to accept the
00:49:52.500 French way of life it's
00:49:53.740 the same if you want to
00:49:54.580 live in Britain and we
00:49:56.900 have a southern border
00:49:57.860 problem in the same way
00:49:59.220 that United States of
00:50:00.380 America does and it all
00:50:02.400 comes down to this
00:50:03.860 fundamental point for me
00:50:05.140 it's a fundamental
00:50:06.760 failure of
00:50:07.980 multiculturalism across
00:50:09.700 the West because
00:50:11.140 Megan I don't know if
00:50:12.340 it struck you but it's
00:50:13.280 an intriguing paradox
00:50:14.640 that France is labelled
00:50:17.140 as some kind of racist
00:50:18.700 hellhole and that's why
00:50:20.340 there is this level of
00:50:21.680 rioting on the streets
00:50:22.760 today but if France
00:50:24.860 really is this racist
00:50:26.920 hellhole that some claim
00:50:28.540 it to be why do we
00:50:30.200 witness a flood of
00:50:31.760 individuals from North
00:50:33.340 Africa and elsewhere
00:50:34.440 flocking to France's
00:50:36.860 shores to Europe and
00:50:38.040 to Britain and
00:50:38.820 elsewhere racial
00:50:40.140 inequality is being
00:50:41.820 used as I say as a
00:50:43.720 convenient excuse to
00:50:45.640 engage in criminal
00:50:46.820 behaviour wanton acts
00:50:48.400 such as stealing
00:50:49.360 burning and destroying
00:50:51.040 property because
00:50:52.460 Megan I'm no expert
00:50:54.340 but ransacking Louis
00:50:56.180 Vuitton ain't going to
00:50:57.900 solve the ghettoization
00:50:58.960 of certain French
00:51:00.480 communities so
00:51:01.740 so this is an
00:51:02.340 excuse we saw it in
00:51:04.120 America and the
00:51:05.160 BML riots that went
00:51:06.540 on then the looting
00:51:07.780 the stealing the
00:51:08.680 wanton acts of
00:51:09.640 criminality it's been
00:51:11.320 used as an excuse in
00:51:13.660 France the rule of law
00:51:15.240 has broken down but
00:51:16.860 I'm afraid it leads to
00:51:18.160 the same conclusion
00:51:19.280 which is that in
00:51:20.720 France the flood of
00:51:24.000 mass migration into
00:51:25.820 Europe and the so
00:51:27.900 called multiculturalism
00:51:29.380 and diversity that we're
00:51:30.960 told is all so precious
00:51:32.320 and the strength of our
00:51:33.480 nations it ain't
00:51:35.140 working folks that's
00:51:36.740 the be all and end
00:51:37.800 all and that's where
00:51:39.320 most of the riots have
00:51:40.260 taken place we showed
00:51:41.140 video a little while
00:51:42.220 ago of protesters out by
00:51:44.080 the Champs-Élysées but
00:51:45.660 that's the exception for
00:51:46.680 the most part this has
00:51:47.420 been happening in those
00:51:48.580 neighbourhoods where
00:51:49.640 those immigrants live and
00:51:52.040 you know you know these
00:51:52.920 are not great
00:51:53.360 neighbourhoods I mean
00:51:53.860 you've seen these as
00:51:54.680 you as you if you come
00:51:55.580 into Paris from Charles
00:51:56.760 de Gaulle airport you'll
00:51:57.740 see the it's crazy the
00:51:59.740 way a lot of these
00:52:01.040 immigrants are living but
00:52:02.840 France is largely
00:52:04.260 socialist in its
00:52:05.240 policies it's like how
00:52:06.480 much more help can
00:52:07.380 there be the safety net
00:52:08.820 in France is pretty
00:52:09.860 significant they want
00:52:12.500 more they want more
00:52:14.120 things from the French
00:52:14.800 people in the French
00:52:15.480 government but they're
00:52:16.540 not assimilating into
00:52:17.580 the culture there that's
00:52:18.520 not to say anything
00:52:19.080 about this particular
00:52:19.860 17 year old but the
00:52:21.620 divisions are growing you
00:52:22.900 know this is a failed
00:52:23.780 experiment of taking just
00:52:26.000 masses from other
00:52:27.260 countries who have
00:52:28.000 really no interest in
00:52:29.620 living comfortably as
00:52:31.240 French citizens they
00:52:33.480 want their own culture
00:52:34.300 to start to dominate and
00:52:35.560 the hostilities are
00:52:37.380 brewing which is behind
00:52:38.620 at least some of what
00:52:39.900 we're seeing
00:52:40.380 absolutely Megan I mean
00:52:42.520 I've just watched a
00:52:43.540 video with a group of
00:52:44.800 fighting age young men
00:52:46.600 at sea with Richard
00:52:47.980 Gere now Gere was
00:52:49.640 arguing that we must
00:52:51.360 support immigration to
00:52:53.560 Europe mass migration
00:52:54.640 to Europe it's useful
00:52:56.200 idiots I'm afraid and
00:52:57.300 Hollywood lovies like
00:52:58.320 Richard Gere that are
00:52:59.720 actually helping people
00:53:00.860 smugglers and causing
00:53:01.960 problems in Britain and
00:53:04.160 in France and the rest
00:53:05.280 of Europe you know we
00:53:06.780 here in Britain for
00:53:07.660 example like in America
00:53:09.400 that southern border
00:53:10.940 migration is well one
00:53:13.780 it's illegal but
00:53:15.140 ultimately I don't ever
00:53:16.280 think we should be
00:53:17.020 accepting people and I
00:53:18.480 think France many people
00:53:19.580 in France feel the same
00:53:20.980 way it's why you're
00:53:22.080 seeing a rise in
00:53:23.640 support for the likes
00:53:24.940 of Marine Le Pen
00:53:25.740 because if you accept
00:53:27.820 someone arriving
00:53:29.020 illegally and say look
00:53:30.620 we'll give you
00:53:31.100 everything you ask for
00:53:32.280 we'll give you your
00:53:33.920 bed board and benefits
00:53:35.440 it shows want and
00:53:37.260 disregard for the laws
00:53:38.920 of our land and
00:53:40.200 frankly the ability to
00:53:41.660 disregard law and
00:53:42.700 order so I say no
00:53:44.200 thanks and I make no
00:53:45.500 apologies for that
00:53:46.320 Megan the British media
00:53:47.560 the politicians across
00:53:49.840 the left and most
00:53:50.740 politicians in Britain
00:53:51.740 if you say things like
00:53:53.220 this you are dismissed
00:53:54.760 as being some kind of
00:53:55.860 far-right swivel-eyed
00:53:57.260 bigot but actually
00:53:59.120 Britain has a severe
00:54:00.960 housing crisis our
00:54:02.580 healthcare system is
00:54:03.820 allowing many
00:54:04.500 unnecessary deaths
00:54:05.660 because we have a
00:54:07.080 nutty socialist system
00:54:08.700 in Britain and it
00:54:09.820 cannot cope with the
00:54:11.020 sheer number and volume
00:54:12.200 post lockdown and we
00:54:14.580 don't have enough
00:54:15.260 teachers or school
00:54:16.240 places you know Britain
00:54:17.540 and France cannot be
00:54:19.300 the end destinations
00:54:20.740 for every single
00:54:22.420 economic migrant and
00:54:24.240 that's what they are
00:54:25.000 Megan that want to
00:54:26.280 come here and nor do
00:54:27.640 I think actually does
00:54:28.780 the West have or Europe
00:54:30.280 have a responsibility to
00:54:32.680 the millions upon
00:54:33.780 millions of people that
00:54:35.560 would quite like to
00:54:36.500 come to these economies
00:54:37.680 over their host nations
00:54:40.120 their home nations so
00:54:42.100 we're seeing these
00:54:43.580 tensions build up and
00:54:45.800 I actually predict and
00:54:47.260 this is an unhappy
00:54:48.160 prediction actually but
00:54:49.900 I predict that similar
00:54:50.980 things are going to
00:54:51.660 happen here in the
00:54:52.900 United Kingdom as well
00:54:54.140 because we already see
00:54:55.580 disputes on the streets
00:54:57.020 of London over issues
00:54:58.600 like the Iranian regime
00:55:00.100 we see in places like
00:55:02.340 Leicester we see
00:55:03.160 disputes between
00:55:04.140 Muslims and the
00:55:06.600 Leicester Sikh community
00:55:08.340 for example who are
00:55:10.020 basically importing
00:55:11.280 disputes from India
00:55:13.200 disputes from Iran and
00:55:15.340 bringing them into
00:55:16.260 British life and
00:55:17.860 we're saying hang on a
00:55:19.120 minute you if you
00:55:21.220 come here you're you
00:55:23.560 accept that you're a
00:55:24.840 British citizen we
00:55:25.980 don't want that kind of
00:55:27.360 drama being imported
00:55:28.880 into this country we've
00:55:30.120 got enough problems
00:55:30.960 there's a reason your
00:55:31.440 culture has evolved to
00:55:32.660 where it has thanks to
00:55:34.400 generations of Brits who
00:55:35.940 have chosen to live a
00:55:36.840 certain way why would
00:55:37.680 you just say okay we'll
00:55:38.480 do it your way from your
00:55:39.920 country where we never
00:55:41.340 chose to live none of our
00:55:42.480 ancestors chose to live
00:55:43.640 we've been have living
00:55:45.080 under totally different
00:55:46.060 standards and with
00:55:46.960 totally different cultural
00:55:47.840 values you assimilate to
00:55:49.680 us or go back home
00:55:50.980 exactly beautifully put I
00:55:53.520 mean it were I to turn up
00:55:55.040 in the United States of
00:55:55.920 America tomorrow Megan
00:55:57.020 and say look I'm applying
00:55:59.000 for American citizenship
00:56:00.640 it's a beacon of hope and
00:56:02.860 liberty to the world but
00:56:04.320 actually folks I'm going to
00:56:05.960 demand on July the 4th that
00:56:07.960 you guys accept the supreme
00:56:10.860 governorship of his majesty
00:56:12.800 King Charles the third I
00:56:14.440 imagine you'd give me very
00:56:15.620 short shrift Megan and tell
00:56:17.500 me I can sling my hook and
00:56:19.520 that's what we ought to be
00:56:20.620 doing when it comes we
00:56:22.020 already have a guy over
00:56:22.860 here who's trying to do
00:56:23.620 that his name is Prince
00:56:25.020 Harry he's trying to he
00:56:26.440 attacks our first amendment
00:56:27.340 every week and says that
00:56:29.620 you need a king yeah well he
00:56:32.640 hasn't gone that far but he
00:56:33.940 he says he doesn't understand
00:56:35.180 he thinks the first amendment
00:56:36.040 is bonkers he's suing all
00:56:37.800 the press he's demanding our
00:56:38.900 paparazzi return over their
00:56:40.200 property their photos of him
00:56:42.220 to him he doesn't get it so
00:56:44.080 yeah we definitely don't need
00:56:45.180 more Brits we love you but
00:56:46.900 we don't need any more
00:56:47.460 Brits coming over here
00:56:48.180 trying to change our
00:56:48.860 country to make it more
00:56:49.780 British exactly absolutely
00:56:51.500 right and that's what the
00:56:52.680 kind of rhetoric that's what
00:56:53.980 we should be saying sternly
00:56:55.500 frankly openly honestly to
00:56:57.700 these people that come here
00:56:59.040 and don't have any regard for
00:57:01.260 the British way of life or
00:57:02.160 the French way of life and
00:57:03.580 actually just want to stir up
00:57:04.920 trouble and resentment and
00:57:06.500 demand more and more we have
00:57:08.820 it pretty good and actually
00:57:10.340 we'd like to keep it pretty
00:57:11.580 good and we're seeing that
00:57:13.960 those tensions start to tear
00:57:15.680 away at the social fabric and
00:57:18.320 actually the constitutional
00:57:19.540 fabric in certain regards for
00:57:21.200 certain respects and if you
00:57:23.980 basically Megan look if I was in
00:57:26.700 charge I would say you can't
00:57:28.640 speak the language you come here
00:57:29.860 illegally you you have no regard
00:57:32.400 for the law and order for our
00:57:34.960 way of life then sod off if I
00:57:37.820 can use a British expression
00:57:39.440 because we have absolutely no
00:57:41.480 time and no place for you and
00:57:44.440 we're full frankly you know we
00:57:46.280 have no places for your
00:57:47.780 children we have no places to for
00:57:50.560 the translators required for you
00:57:52.360 to you know come here and and be
00:57:54.220 able to apply for certain things
00:57:56.280 because you don't speak the
00:57:57.340 language it's just a farce Megan
00:57:59.960 and it's it's the the really
00:58:02.100 powerful lobby that say you know
00:58:05.720 the the UN do a lot of work in
00:58:08.860 this issue try and berate people
00:58:10.760 into being told that they're
00:58:13.280 bigoted they're racist they're
00:58:15.480 resentful uh they're I dare say
00:58:18.340 that that famous Hillary Clinton
00:58:20.060 line actually of being a basket of
00:58:22.520 deplorables that's what you are if
00:58:24.960 you actually argue that it's a
00:58:27.400 really important key tenant of
00:58:29.320 protecting nationhood and the
00:58:31.580 nation state that people coming
00:58:33.840 here to your nation damn well
00:58:36.020 respect the laws and customs of
00:58:39.140 said nation and I just think that's
00:58:41.640 not happening right now and
00:58:43.540 Douglas Murray wrote about this in
00:58:45.080 2017 he was writing about the
00:58:47.420 strange death of Europe and I think
00:58:50.120 those chickens really are coming
00:58:52.400 home to roost and it's very
00:58:54.160 depressing Megan I feel utterly
00:58:56.120 despondent about it there's a
00:58:59.200 there's danger in you even
00:59:00.460 speaking out about it because
00:59:02.320 there is we have we have
00:59:04.200 newspaper articles today telling
00:59:05.840 us that somebody else who's been
00:59:07.480 outspoken about these issues
00:59:08.840 Nigel Farage is getting frozen
00:59:11.200 out of his bank accounts we've
00:59:14.740 seen reports here and there of
00:59:17.460 this kind of thing happening in
00:59:18.720 the states though it's the
00:59:20.180 exception not the rule their
00:59:21.400 PayPal tried to crack down on
00:59:23.160 certain groups that had the wrong
00:59:24.740 opinions and they said it was a big
00:59:26.720 mistake never mind but this is a
00:59:30.160 mystery what's happening to
00:59:31.160 Nigel Farage the leader behind
00:59:32.800 Brexit Brexit happened a few years
00:59:35.300 ago but he seems to be suffering
00:59:37.140 some sort of retribution for it
00:59:38.900 that's what he claims though the
00:59:40.520 bank that's kicked him out in
00:59:42.900 terms of all of his commercial
00:59:44.020 accounts which he says are the only
00:59:45.140 ones that matter to him his
00:59:46.200 personal account is irrelevant to
00:59:47.320 him hasn't provided an explanation
00:59:50.200 for why they suddenly cut ties not
00:59:52.540 just with him but with his entire
00:59:54.660 family Darren what's happening it is
00:59:57.860 extraordinary because actually the
00:59:59.480 parallels between Brexit and the
01:00:01.440 Trump revolutions are I think
01:00:04.700 pretty stark because ultimately there
01:00:07.740 are a certain very large very
01:00:10.220 powerful part of the United States
01:00:12.240 press and media that will never
01:00:14.440 ever forgive Donald Trump for
01:00:16.620 securing victory right they will
01:00:18.040 never ever forgive the parts of the
01:00:20.960 country that voted for him you know
01:00:22.920 I'm from a working class area in the
01:00:25.340 United Kingdom I dare say where
01:00:27.980 there are President Trump we would
01:00:29.560 have voted for him in the same way
01:00:31.120 we voted for Brexit and there are
01:00:33.100 certain pockets here exactly the same
01:00:35.160 as there are in America that will
01:00:36.720 never ever forgive us for that
01:00:39.100 because it was the one time Megan that
01:00:41.360 we said to them look we're not going
01:00:43.720 to bend to the liberal left
01:00:45.860 establishment demands to actually vote
01:00:49.160 to stay in this sclerotic European
01:00:51.540 bureaucracy and as you say Nigel Farage
01:00:54.540 was at the forefront for many years
01:00:56.400 as long as I've been on this planet
01:00:58.140 actually at the forefront of that
01:01:00.600 debate now the banking groups that
01:01:02.960 he's been with since the 80s you know
01:01:05.600 that cold-hearted bombshell there
01:01:07.660 informing them that they're closing
01:01:09.580 his accounts as you rightly say even
01:01:12.020 his family members have fallen victim
01:01:13.900 to this this banking purge now it's not
01:01:17.620 rocket science right both here and in
01:01:20.160 the states without a bank account
01:01:22.440 functioning in the modern world
01:01:24.620 becomes as improbable as finding a
01:01:27.860 straight heterosexual male on a
01:01:29.920 television advert Megan you know it's
01:01:32.800 it's not just Nigel and his family that
01:01:35.980 are feeling the sting we've had
01:01:37.340 political parties and guess what they
01:01:39.640 all have in common Megan they back
01:01:41.780 Brexit all struggle to actually secure
01:01:45.500 bank accounts the podcast
01:01:48.260 trigonometry Megan I don't know if
01:01:49.780 you've ever been on trigonometry
01:01:51.060 actually yes you have yeah it was a
01:01:53.060 while ago and as you know
01:01:54.980 trigonometry massively pro free speech
01:01:57.780 a big platform that platforms people on
01:02:00.460 the left and the right some people who
01:02:02.140 may say things that go against the
01:02:04.080 establishment class and and speak
01:02:06.720 things that they don't want to hear
01:02:08.280 they had their bank account yanked from
01:02:10.580 right under their feet as well and
01:02:12.920 there's a union called the free speech
01:02:15.200 union in this country I know America
01:02:16.960 has a similar outfits fighting for
01:02:19.000 amendment rights and free speech
01:02:21.840 protections we didn't have anything
01:02:23.880 like that until the free speech union
01:02:25.580 quite recently came across they've
01:02:27.740 helped me out before actually for
01:02:29.480 daring to air an interview against
01:02:31.200 black lives matter that I was
01:02:33.020 investigated for under the law for
01:02:35.700 daring to air now they had their
01:02:38.400 PayPal account held hostage
01:02:40.740 essentially until the public actually
01:02:43.200 said hang on I'm going to cancel my
01:02:46.300 services with you if you don't allow
01:02:48.700 us to be able to fund this outfit
01:02:51.260 that's protecting our free speech
01:02:53.080 rights we've seen bank accounts
01:02:55.460 removed Megan for saying simple facts
01:02:58.520 like women don't have penises so it's
01:03:01.840 not just Brexit it cuts across all of
01:03:04.780 the I guess what you would call culture
01:03:07.020 war divides where if you're on the
01:03:09.760 right if you believe in the nation
01:03:11.760 state if you believe in the immutable
01:03:13.920 fact of biological sex and and reality
01:03:18.440 and all of these things then hold on
01:03:20.580 tight because you're in for one hell of
01:03:24.060 a ride I mean there was a a reverend in
01:03:28.160 this country called Richard Fothergill and
01:03:30.800 he had his just this week he came
01:03:34.360 forward in the Daily Mail and gave an
01:03:37.220 account on how he offered his bank
01:03:39.660 account his banking branch some polite
01:03:42.740 feedback on the perils of modern day
01:03:45.520 transgender ideology because for all of
01:03:48.200 pride month of course they were flying in
01:03:51.120 these banks you can barely get moved
01:03:52.960 it's enough to give an epileptic seizure
01:03:55.360 this bizarre clown flag everywhere in a
01:03:59.440 banking society I mean you sort of think
01:04:02.120 Megan it's a lot I remember the days it
01:04:04.200 is a lot I remember the days when banking
01:04:06.120 societies used to care about giving us
01:04:08.400 good mortgages good interest rates
01:04:10.960 competing with each other on attracting
01:04:14.120 our custom these days it's nothing more
01:04:16.520 than woke virtue signaling now this
01:04:18.940 reverend pointed out the the actual
01:04:21.640 really quite dark and sinister side of much
01:04:24.860 of the trans element of this movement and
01:04:27.900 for saying so he was told in no uncertain
01:04:30.900 terms we're closing your account he met
01:04:34.160 the disapproval story they opened it they
01:04:36.880 decided to go to make political statements
01:04:38.920 about cultural issues that they really
01:04:40.720 shouldn't be opining on as a bank and he
01:04:43.040 as a customer wrote them what he describes
01:04:44.620 as a polite letter saying could you get
01:04:46.280 out of this lane and just cash the checks
01:04:48.420 and cut them and they said as follows this
01:04:52.600 is amazing they wrote that they have a zero
01:04:55.380 tolerance approach to discrimination and
01:04:58.040 that their relationship with the customer
01:04:59.700 had irrevocably broken down they're not
01:05:02.320 married there this is a bank what do you
01:05:05.560 mean it's irrevocably broken down
01:05:07.860 absolutely you know at this point I'm just
01:05:11.680 saying let we're laughing about this Megan
01:05:13.860 but it's actually incredibly serious you
01:05:15.620 know wake up Britain because we are
01:05:18.020 marching into a really dire situation
01:05:21.040 we're careening really towards a Chinese
01:05:25.080 social credit system if you say something
01:05:28.440 that irks the gods of ESG diversity and
01:05:32.560 inclusion we had we saw that video in
01:05:34.920 2017 of the BlackRock CEO saying that
01:05:38.940 actually we need to force behaviors
01:05:41.360 financial institutions banking behemoths are
01:05:45.640 saying that actually you'll lose your access
01:05:48.180 to bare essentials required for survival if
01:05:52.240 you offend our ESG diversity and inclusion
01:05:55.940 requirements and thresholds because they
01:05:59.300 like diversity Megan but I tell you what
01:06:01.900 they don't like the diversity of thought if
01:06:04.680 you dare breach that and allow your free
01:06:08.760 speech to run rampant well you're in for a
01:06:12.320 world of pain you cannot function in day-to-day
01:06:16.120 life for debunking you will be debanked and
01:06:19.960 I say we've got to protect our speech I
01:06:21.920 wish you know my heart aches for the kind
01:06:24.760 of free speech protections that the United
01:06:27.240 States of America has because dare I say
01:06:29.960 Megan that's the only reason that nutty
01:06:32.480 doddery old Biden isn't doing the same
01:06:35.260 things that we're saying in this country
01:06:37.660 today and that's under a so-called
01:06:39.900 conservative party we're at the tyranny of
01:06:43.160 these banking behemoths and free speech is
01:06:46.580 in peril not just for Nigel Farage but
01:06:49.200 anyone that dares go against the
01:06:51.620 establishment consensus and offer opposing
01:06:55.720 dissenting views and speech is there an
01:06:59.940 argument to be made that this is a necessary
01:07:03.240 reset that these banks doing this are
01:07:06.360 really just showing their hand and that
01:07:09.220 capitalism will necessarily lead to the
01:07:12.400 rise of competing banks who are more than
01:07:14.920 happy to take the money of conservatives
01:07:17.220 who exist in your country in very large
01:07:19.840 measure the same as they do in mine you
01:07:21.720 know there's something about it that I is
01:07:24.520 mildly appealing to me like great thank you
01:07:27.340 so much for telling me that I I no longer want
01:07:31.180 to do business with you if my sincerely held
01:07:34.180 beliefs which are mainstream they are that
01:07:37.120 maybe not everybody's expressing them but
01:07:39.720 the majority of Americans agree and Brits
01:07:42.540 agree with what you and I are saying about
01:07:44.000 gender that if you don't want my business I
01:07:48.000 don't want to give it to you and then
01:07:49.440 necessarily we'll get a conservative
01:07:51.520 PayPal we'll get a conservative key bank
01:07:53.760 or whatever the bank is that's an issue
01:07:55.620 there's something appealing and and sort of
01:07:58.740 just more honest about that to me I
01:08:00.860 understand it could be problematic in
01:08:02.700 the law in the short haul it definitely
01:08:05.780 because one there's the the idea that
01:08:08.640 regulators are going to say you know well
01:08:11.160 do you meet the ESG requirements do you
01:08:14.020 meet the the thresholds to actually operate
01:08:17.100 in the United Kingdom or the United States
01:08:19.880 even you know maybe perhaps they'll say
01:08:22.240 you can't you can't actually open something
01:08:24.480 that discriminates against non-conservatives
01:08:26.860 which is perverse right because they're
01:08:28.880 discriminating against conservatives but
01:08:31.220 that's okay because you know we are the
01:08:33.420 basket of deplorables we are awful people
01:08:35.600 we have horrible views like liking the
01:08:38.100 nation-state how terrible but that's what's
01:08:41.380 crazy I mean that's the truth about
01:08:42.780 conservatives is the conservative bank
01:08:44.580 would happily take the business of
01:08:45.980 LGBTQ they absolutely your thought
01:08:48.940 process out of it they'll go old school
01:08:51.060 like all are welcome to bank here no we're
01:08:53.680 not going to support in quote gender
01:08:56.000 affirming care for minors but that's your
01:08:57.940 business we're a freaking bank absolutely
01:09:01.480 and I you know I hope with every fiber of
01:09:04.620 my being that we actually get back to that
01:09:06.540 but I think in in a large way this is
01:09:10.240 actually going to happen more perhaps more
01:09:12.900 organically than that because I think
01:09:15.200 we're already starting to see a pushback
01:09:17.820 against the the trans insanity that's
01:09:20.460 sweeping across both of our nations and
01:09:23.240 actually I think consumers are going to
01:09:25.260 start to say well actually if my bank is
01:09:28.040 pushing these things then I don't want to
01:09:30.380 bank there if my bank isn't going to say
01:09:32.420 to Nigel Farage you know I I'm not
01:09:35.240 allowing you here and he names and shames
01:09:37.720 them I dare say there would be a hell of a
01:09:40.200 lot of pushback against those things but I
01:09:43.200 think the left is starting to eat itself
01:09:45.720 Megan so you've got we had the pride in
01:09:49.900 London uh on Saturday just gone and the
01:09:54.900 just spoilt brats or the just stop oil
01:09:58.060 brigade they were out and they were
01:10:00.140 protesting against a pride parade because
01:10:02.720 it's sponsored by woke capitalism
01:10:06.180 essentially who are all on board with
01:10:08.320 this ESG stuff and and actually on board
01:10:11.620 with net zero let's be honest
01:10:12.980 you've got you've got a gay a pride
01:10:15.920 parade happening that has a corporate
01:10:18.200 sponsor I think it was coca-cola and
01:10:20.320 the just stop oil activists targeted the
01:10:23.740 pride parade because not because they
01:10:26.560 were doing anything to the environment but
01:10:28.560 because they had coca-cola as a sponsor
01:10:30.880 yes that is the left eating its own
01:10:32.560 and they were sponsored by that one of
01:10:35.360 the pride sponsors was an airline so that
01:10:37.600 was that was the argument that if you can
01:10:39.340 take cash from these corporates but I think
01:10:42.160 that's that's where it's going to start
01:10:43.740 to to be torn down because a lot of the
01:10:47.500 left I imagine the the the somersaults
01:10:50.600 going through their minds the mental
01:10:52.380 arithmetic of which diversity box which
01:10:55.620 identity box should I care about right
01:10:57.520 now should it be the climate Greta death
01:10:59.780 cult or should it be the pride you know
01:11:02.520 I'm obsessed with getting into schools
01:11:04.860 and indoctrinating children cult hmm let
01:11:07.800 me think about that and it must have
01:11:09.660 been incredibly difficult for these
01:11:12.000 left-wing deers Megan so let me ask you
01:11:15.140 about pride because we've just finished
01:11:16.940 did you guys have pride month in the UK
01:11:18.480 oh absolutely I feel like it's been
01:11:21.740 pride yeah but yes absolutely because I
01:11:24.760 mean obviously that was a pride event
01:11:26.140 but I didn't know if it was the full
01:11:27.100 month so yeah we're just we're just now
01:11:29.020 over pride month but there's a push up
01:11:32.100 in north by Justin Trudeau in Canada to
01:11:34.320 make it pride summer Admiral Rachel
01:11:38.020 Levine who is a man masquerading as a
01:11:40.060 woman says it needs to be pride season
01:11:42.260 so it's gonna go on and on and I've been
01:11:45.600 asking all along like where I if you're a
01:11:48.360 conservative gay or lesbian person you're
01:11:51.200 not in favor of this nonsense that's going
01:11:53.300 out with the leather and the bondage and
01:11:55.440 the children and getting naked and like you
01:11:57.200 know you're not but like where's the gay
01:11:59.280 community to stand up and say would you
01:12:01.500 stop because you don't represent me at
01:12:04.060 all even if you're a lefty you know even
01:12:06.000 if you're a liberal gay person or lesbian
01:12:07.600 person right and now we saw we saw a bit
01:12:10.520 of it there was an LGBTQ influencer named
01:12:14.000 by a name of AJ Sanchez who came out and
01:12:17.600 had this a little explicit but you know
01:12:19.600 I've got a potty mouth so I'm in no
01:12:21.100 position to judge who had this message for
01:12:23.260 the gay community and these pride events
01:12:24.700 and someone explained to me while I'm
01:12:27.580 seeing all these pride videos people in
01:12:29.200 the streets at some like they ain't got no
01:12:30.540 fucking home training but uh see
01:12:32.180 boo chi chi chi's all out on display for
01:12:34.440 everybody to see middle new york broad
01:12:36.400 daylight miners present like when it since
01:12:38.240 when is that okay sis because it's not
01:12:39.800 see I'm not giving royal family by any
01:12:41.280 mean but bitch time in place and that
01:12:43.080 was not it they already don't fuck with
01:12:44.920 us like that and this is how you want
01:12:46.080 them to perceive us pride is an event
01:12:47.720 based around acceptance and equality not
01:12:49.920 an excuse for y'all to act a fucking fool
01:12:51.500 yes go AJ well I couldn't agree more
01:12:56.340 absolutely very well said I perhaps
01:12:58.540 wouldn't have put it so eloquently as
01:13:00.860 he did and using that colorful language
01:13:02.920 shall we say but yeah I couldn't agree
01:13:05.640 more I think it we're seeing the the
01:13:08.320 chickens come home to roost here as well
01:13:10.260 actually what the left are doing in and
01:13:13.860 it's described often as as being a little
01:13:16.560 bit like St George in retirement so you
01:13:19.480 know the the fable of St George a great
01:13:22.460 mythology and and one that we hark back
01:13:25.420 to often on St George's day in this
01:13:27.220 country where St George slayed the
01:13:29.180 dragon but in retirement Megan perhaps he
01:13:32.080 he longed for the quest of another dragon
01:13:34.840 but all he could find were sheep and had
01:13:37.320 to kill the sheep instead now that's what
01:13:40.020 these these continuity lgbtq plus two
01:13:44.960 spirit penguins whatever they are these
01:13:47.200 days alphabet soup clown car I wish the
01:13:51.080 clown car would you know go off into the
01:13:53.300 sunset and never return again but that's
01:13:56.180 what these movements are doing they want
01:13:58.800 to keep the victim narratives going because
01:14:01.340 that's what keeps them relevant that's what
01:14:03.740 keeps them receiving dollars receiving
01:14:06.820 pound sterling receiving checks and support
01:14:10.780 from corporates and all the rest of it and
01:14:14.120 it's it's driving society apart if you
01:14:17.840 consider the rapid progression of gay
01:14:23.460 equality in both the United States of
01:14:26.480 America and in the United Kingdom but in
01:14:30.600 both countries you're starting to see signs
01:14:33.640 where people are saying a red flag a line
01:14:37.100 has been crossed you have brought children
01:14:40.600 into this debate you are suggesting that the
01:14:43.800 medicalization and experimentation on
01:14:47.440 children where we're putting them on
01:14:49.500 hormone treatments puberty blockers which
01:14:52.300 we have absolutely no long-term data to
01:14:55.480 tell us what the long-term consequences will
01:14:58.400 be for perhaps bone deficiencies brain
01:15:01.260 development your long-term prospects we
01:15:04.420 have no idea we also have no idea how many
01:15:09.200 of these de-transitioning episodes which
01:15:11.740 we're already starting to see will become
01:15:14.120 clear over the next few years to come
01:15:17.820 and parents not just parents but many in
01:15:23.440 these societies in our societies are saying
01:15:26.800 look I was quite all right with Darren
01:15:30.180 Grimes you know wanting to be free to I
01:15:34.180 don't know have a boyfriend or get even
01:15:36.980 get married as long as it wasn't in the
01:15:38.700 church but I draw the line at this idea
01:15:42.640 that we should be teaching gender ideology
01:15:45.820 this new ideology in schools where sex and
01:15:51.700 gender are being taught to children as being
01:15:56.640 able to switch on and off like a light
01:15:58.980 switch where young girls and this is what
01:16:02.580 breaks my heart Megan actually and I dare say
01:16:04.820 I don't want to put words into your mouth
01:16:06.500 but I dare say you agree with me on this
01:16:08.460 young girls who and there is evidence to
01:16:11.760 suggest this may well have autism they're
01:16:14.980 going through puberty they're not happy with
01:16:17.580 their bodies as many young children who go
01:16:20.100 through puberty I mean I didn't like my
01:16:21.520 body when I was going through puberty young
01:16:24.800 people are being sold a lie and a promise that
01:16:28.200 actually the solution to fix these issues is
01:16:32.040 to get a mastectomy is to take these
01:16:35.480 medications is to do generally irreversible
01:16:39.140 things and then happiness is just one surgery
01:16:44.280 away and what happens then Megan when people
01:16:48.280 do go through with these surgeries I mean I
01:16:50.920 don't know if you saw but the the Bank of
01:16:52.900 England which is like you know our Fed they
01:16:56.480 actually came out today and said that any
01:16:59.640 gender can get pregnant this is our central
01:17:02.400 bank in Britain saying that any gender can
01:17:05.400 get pregnant and that they will help people
01:17:08.160 with gender reassignment surgery and you just
01:17:12.920 sort of think this stuff is absolutely
01:17:15.360 everywhere and once that starts to become
01:17:18.660 offensive I'm just I'm sick of it I don't
01:17:22.440 want to see one more picture of chest feeding
01:17:25.320 ever a man cannot chest feed or breast feed
01:17:29.880 whatever is being fed to that child is some
01:17:32.440 bizarre unfortunate mix of strong hormones it's
01:17:37.080 not breast milk grow up stop don't work out your
01:17:41.020 mental illness on a baby and and to have that
01:17:44.240 sort of state sanctioning of the notion that a man
01:17:47.380 can carry a baby or get pregnant is offensive to
01:17:50.840 women actual women where it's one of the most
01:17:53.640 miraculous things on earth and only we can do
01:17:56.120 it a beautiful thing absolutely and and you
01:17:59.360 know the protections for for women I you know I
01:18:02.240 was raised exclusively by women Megan I know we
01:18:05.680 might get on to the breakdown of marriage and what
01:18:08.480 what that does to society but you know I was raised
01:18:11.440 exclusively by women and it breaks my heart to
01:18:13.560 see actually the the destruction and denigration
01:18:16.520 of what it means to be a woman the the femininity and
01:18:19.480 the beauty actually of of womanhood and and
01:18:22.680 femaleness and that's being rendered irrelevant it's
01:18:26.420 a deeply misogynistic movement but I also think
01:18:28.620 it's a deeply homophobic movement perversely
01:18:30.660 because actually it says sex doesn't exist and if sex
01:18:34.500 doesn't exist then being homosexual does not
01:18:37.500 exist I mean we had in this country absolutely we had
01:18:42.540 in this country I've been erased it's dehumanized and
01:18:45.320 erased me well they're doing the same thing to us and
01:18:48.140 if you say that you're a bigot absolutely you say
01:18:51.480 that you're a bigot you know you're you're not a
01:18:53.520 feminist you're a bigot you're a discriminatory
01:18:56.080 bigot and I reject that but we had a liberal
01:19:00.200 broadcaster here in Britain a liberal television
01:19:02.660 network uh called ITV and ITV aired a package on the
01:19:07.040 cost of living crisis that's currently reaping havoc in
01:19:10.700 this country and they they actually chose to represent a
01:19:15.240 mother a trans woman now a trans woman cannot be a mother
01:19:21.220 now they chose wait what do you mean actually what do you mean
01:19:24.900 what did they do well so in a package in a television package
01:19:28.180 on how this is affecting mothers and and those raising
01:19:32.620 children for example the cost of living crisis
01:19:34.700 economy story an economy story exactly they chose to air a
01:19:41.140 package with a trans person on motherhood on what the cost of
01:19:46.360 living the economy the the fall in the rise in inflation and all
01:19:50.840 the rest of it is actually doing to mothers they chose to choose a
01:19:54.920 trans woman to actually get across this message yes exactly a
01:20:01.100 biological man absolutely no doubt about it and guess what
01:20:05.180 Megan this individual uploaded a picture of himself to his twitter
01:20:09.020 account in which he has a a baby cradled in his arms and he is
01:20:15.660 attempting to breastfeed this child that man does not have breasts if
01:20:20.960 it is sick it is sick it's a sick delusion and ITV this liberal
01:20:26.440 broadcaster has actually chosen to air to give a platform to someone that
01:20:33.220 is trying to do this to a child if you ask me Megan that is nothing
01:20:36.240 short of child abuse and I think someone should be seriously
01:20:39.400 investigating that sort of thing no it is but that it is that and it's
01:20:43.760 exactly why Megan that the thing is so angry like it's bad enough that it
01:20:47.540 happens at all because that's that's a man working out his own
01:20:50.260 psychological issues on a baby who actually does need real breast milk or
01:20:54.540 formula real food from a loving parent so that's bad enough but for a
01:20:58.240 television station to highlight it and and highlight him as a woman a
01:21:02.680 representative of motherhood is completely hashtag part of the problem
01:21:06.980 it's we're up against so much like they want to look at us and tell us
01:21:10.720 we're bad we're crazy we're the ones who need help they are I mean this is a
01:21:15.340 sickness that we're fighting and I don't know where it ends I really don't
01:21:19.120 I'm I'm deeply concerned about all well it ends in and see you know the
01:21:22.660 Gallup poll which shows that actually there's a 10-year collapse in support
01:21:27.020 for gay relationships in acceptance of gay relationships that's the United
01:21:32.680 States of America going back 10 years and saying you know we're not going to
01:21:37.480 support this stuff anymore if that's what it means to you are you saying
01:21:40.520 Darren that the public support for gay marriage is going down is that what
01:21:44.320 you're saying oh absolutely yeah it definitely is and that's I think a
01:21:49.720 direct consequence of the pushing of this dangerous and divisive ideology
01:21:53.800 yeah no I wouldn't be surprised that this is the backlash right this is why
01:21:58.880 the LG needs to separate from the T ASAP there's there's a bunch of letters for
01:22:03.600 you right it's like it's damaging gay men in innumerable ways lesbian women as
01:22:09.300 well the divorce has to take place but it hasn't now let me let me shift gears
01:22:13.080 just slightly and ask you about something in our news here in the States which is
01:22:17.800 our Department of Defense has chosen to highlight a transgender major it's a man
01:22:25.300 who's going as a woman by the name of Major Rachel Jones and the US Army tweeting
01:22:31.620 this story out that that that's entitled living authentically saves soldiers life
01:22:39.200 they talk about how Major Rachel Jones again who was a man going as a woman is
01:22:45.020 living her truth and goes on about how this person used to be really wrestling
01:22:51.840 with the fact that he had to hold the fact that he really wanted to be a woman
01:22:55.960 private and now thanks to this change in policy under President Biden he can live
01:23:02.820 his quote truth and let the freak flag fly he's gonna go around as a woman in an
01:23:09.840 army uniform and the actual men are gonna have to walk past the desk with the she her label
01:23:16.100 and presumably fight alongside this person and do all the things that our soldiers do
01:23:20.780 without noticing or commenting on the fact that it's a man who is masquerading as a woman
01:23:27.080 absolutely and I dare say you know where anyone hoping to be to be highlighted by the Department
01:23:35.600 for Defense and they said things like what we've just been discussing you know they said things
01:23:40.700 that actually men simply cannot become women and vice versa and actually a man will never be a mother
01:23:47.900 and all of these quote-unquote controversial things to say Megan they would never ever be given a
01:23:55.520 platform because you know the the movement that says it's tolerant and and pro-diversity love diversity
01:24:02.300 unless it's the diversity of thought and it's it just makes a mockery you know tomorrow you're
01:24:08.780 celebrating your nation's freedom and independence and actually that freedom and independence you know
01:24:14.660 my grandfather served with Americans in 1952 in the Korean War now he was fighting for the values that
01:24:23.000 the United States represent and the United Kingdom represent of freedom of democracy freedom from
01:24:30.240 communist tyranny freedom from oppression when actually now we're making a mockery of the sacrifice that
01:24:38.380 brave brave men and frankly boys have offered to protect not the United States of America but to protect
01:24:47.740 freedom elsewhere too the flag used to represent a beacon of of hope aspiration freedom liberty all of these
01:25:00.220 really important things that aren't just slogans they mean something that tangible that they must be
01:25:07.160 protected and they have been protected with lives with with sacrifice and now we air people and say
01:25:16.040 they're brave Megan brave are they brave like those boys that froze to death in Korea who had icicles
01:25:23.220 hanging off of their fingers the are we they brave like the mothers who didn't get to see their children
01:25:28.800 come home because boys were fighting in foreign lands for the the values that the United States flag
01:25:34.840 represents how dare you say that these people are brave how dare you give them a platform and use the
01:25:41.980 word brave like that it is not brave to say that you are Arthur one day and Martha the next don't be
01:25:50.780 so ridiculous condescending patronizing think about the others in that's the thing is like we were
01:25:57.220 they're given no choice but sit there like okay yes we support we see we believe you know they have
01:26:02.860 other things they need to be worried about this is such a distraction to any person who is part of the
01:26:09.680 mainstream I mean the vast majority of Americans would be very uncomfortable next to this male one day
01:26:15.540 female the next who now we have to call by a new name and ignore the lipstick on and this is at a time
01:26:21.740 when our military recruitment is at record lows there was a great piece in the spectator today by Lou Aguilar
01:26:28.520 I recommend it to everybody I tweeted it if you want to get it but you can go to spectator.org
01:26:32.520 and Lou writes of course he says okay the following hold on
01:26:36.980 yeah America's he says of course America bashing education alone because he railed about that about
01:26:44.420 how you go to school today all you hear is about how bad America is has not dampened young men's
01:26:49.900 pro-military fervor the current sad woke state of the Biden administration's Pentagon leadership
01:26:55.940 is equally if not more off-putting whereas boys once idolized generals Washington Jackson Grant Pershing
01:27:02.980 Roosevelt and Patton and Admirals Perry and Nimitz all they now see are pathetic losers like General Mark
01:27:09.260 White Rage Milley and Lloyd where's my mask Austin now the Secretary of Defense not to mention the best-known
01:27:16.940 admiral who is Rachel Levine formerly known as Richard who's you know now they're supposed to look up to
01:27:24.520 this and see this is a reason to join the military it's not happening and that's why we're at record lows
01:27:29.120 now on military recruitment the numbers are the army missed its recruitment goals by 25 percent in 22
01:27:35.340 in 23 it's projected to be 15,000 shoulders or soldiers short similarly the navy expected to miss
01:27:41.480 its target by 10,000 this year and how I mean how depressing was it to see the the same department
01:27:49.940 actually put out the navy changed its its graphics during prize month until we all said how ridiculous and
01:27:58.320 they changed them back but they actually changed it to progress pride branding as if you know if if
01:28:05.300 America is going to stop bombing the nation abroad to defend its interests oh but you know it's got the
01:28:11.660 pride flag on it so that makes it okay it's diverse so it's diverse bombing you know you're taking a
01:28:17.400 progressive plundering so that's okay how ridiculous of course people are going to be turned away
01:28:23.140 from this and dare I say at the most dangerous moment that we've known since since the cold war
01:28:31.680 to actually turn around and put out these kinds of images it says to China it says to President Xi
01:28:39.440 it says to Russia it says to President Putin that the United States is a joke that the United States
01:28:46.220 you know you're going to be fighting people that don't know whether or not they're Arthur or Martha
01:28:50.480 they don't know you know whether or not you're calling them the right pronouns and that's what
01:28:54.740 they care about and all the rest of it and it's ridiculous it makes the United States
01:29:00.000 they are they are bud lighting the American military they're bud lighting that is very true yes
01:29:05.520 they're changing the brand of the very organization exactly you do and once you do that you actually make
01:29:14.040 it more dangerous for the United States and its allies because of course the United States is still
01:29:20.140 a key ally when it comes to things like NATO and and actually you know Megan I from here from abroad
01:29:27.360 I'm actually saying I wish Rhonda you know this might make me unpopular with some of your audience but
01:29:32.780 I wish Rhonda Santis would actually win because I want the West to look at the United States challenging
01:29:40.180 this kind of wackery and walkery and standing up instead for flag and country and say we need to
01:29:46.540 copy and emulate the United States of America I hope to almighty God Megan that we do not emulate the
01:29:53.440 United States of America right now when it comes to the kind of things that the Navy the defense services
01:30:00.860 are putting out right of course and we don't know we'll we'll see whether Trump has evolved on the
01:30:07.240 issue as we speculated a short time ago we know where DeSantis stands absolutely against I look
01:30:12.460 forward to you interviewing him Megan I me too Darren Grimes what a pleasure so nice to speak
01:30:18.040 with you thank you so much for being here absolute pleasure good to be with you I want to tell you
01:30:26.220 that yesterday we were in church uh here at the beach and you know there's always the final hymn and
01:30:32.200 everybody stands up and sings it together and we did that and without missing a beat um we went right
01:30:38.420 into uh you know the guy at the front who sings he plays an amazing acoustic guitar this guy um went
01:30:44.720 right into America the Beautiful and everybody started singing together we were standing it was such a
01:30:52.260 beautiful moment it gave me the chills it just filled my heart with pride with patriotism I was and it was
01:30:59.520 standing room only by the way at church standing literally there were people who had to stand it was
01:31:03.860 almost like an Easter or Christmas at church so just to hear that many people singing about our country
01:31:08.720 and how beautiful it is our amber waves of grain it was just so great it got me in the mood um and that
01:31:17.080 is one of the reasons why I really like that piece I just mentioned to you and the spectator
01:31:20.060 and by by Lou Aguilar it's it's headlined the star-spangled banner still waves the head the subhead is as the
01:31:27.260 Supreme Court reminded us last week we're still the land of the free and he reminds us Lou does of the
01:31:34.180 story behind our national anthem the star-spangled banner goes back to September 13th 1814 I'll give
01:31:41.600 you just a bit in case you didn't learn it or forgot it British warships fired a seemingly endless
01:31:47.380 barrage of shells and rockets on Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor for 25 hours how just weeks earlier
01:31:53.600 the British had taken Washington DC and burned the Capitol building in the White House from the deck
01:31:58.660 of an English ship eight miles away arrested 35 year old lawyer Francis Scott Key saw the US flag
01:32:04.200 flying over the fort through the bombardment fully expecting the Union Jack to take its place in the
01:32:10.340 morning in the tranquil yet smoke-filled dawn he watched the stars and stripes still fluttering above
01:32:15.460 the embankment signaling an American victory the choked up key turned his thoughts and observations
01:32:20.340 into a poem which became a song and in 1931 the national anthem of course a different story a
01:32:26.700 different song than uh America the beautiful but so beautiful and just stirring right to listen to
01:32:31.520 it you know anything that makes me feel good about the US I embrace and I'll be thinking about all of
01:32:36.160 it tomorrow as I know you guys will be we'll do have a full uh review on Wednesday in the meantime
01:32:40.700 please enjoy your fourth and God bless America
01:32:43.420 thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show no BS no agenda and no fear
