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.

We like to walk that fine line between techno-thriller
00:00:32.560
Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:44.960
Later today, we're going to get to these violent riots
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.
00:01:02.780
from the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings last week.
00:01:11.940
Asians were apparently never being discriminated against,
00:01:22.680
It's always great to talk to my friend Mark Stein,
00:02:01.920
let me read you what at least one honest writer
00:02:08.240
all right, so they've already given up the game.
00:02:32.820
to say in the same way they used to do with the Jews.
00:02:45.160
So, you know, if you'd replaced Asian with black,
00:03:07.120
that there's a practice of anti-Asian discrimination.
00:03:11.720
Predominantly white conservative political forces
00:03:16.880
of being racially marginalized among Asian Americans
00:03:22.320
there's this policy that you're not benefiting from.
00:03:49.660
that they were just political pawns of the whites.
00:04:11.240
and another one's coming towards it at 38 miles.
00:05:00.360
Which is why the knuckle-dragging white redneck
01:06:12.320
world of pain you cannot function in day-to-day
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
01:17:44.240
sort of state sanctioning of the notion that a man
01:17:47.380
can carry a baby or get pregnant is offensive to
01:17:59.360
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
01:18:13.560
see actually the the destruction and denigration
01:18:16.520
of what it means to be a woman the the femininity and
01:18:22.680
femaleness and that's being rendered irrelevant it's
01:18:26.420
a deeply misogynistic movement but I also think
01:18:30.660
because actually it says sex doesn't exist and if sex
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
01:19:00.200
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
01:19:34.700
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
01:32:43.420
thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show no BS no agenda and no fear
