Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
00:00:12.020
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and a special weekend edition.
00:00:18.140
I'm taping this on Friday afternoon. I've been with my kids and Doug all week on spring break,
00:00:23.560
came back on Friday and did an hour live with the audience on Sirius XM Triumph Channel 111.
00:00:30.140
On our special series on Baby Lisa, a case we will continue to follow.
00:00:35.640
But it's been such a busy news week that I'm here with this special episode just to break down
00:00:40.820
some of the stories that were driving me insane this week.
00:00:44.760
And then we're going to start with the new show on Monday with Glenn Greenwald.
00:00:49.120
At that point, I will still be on spring break, but not on vacation.
00:00:52.700
I will be moving locations, but I will not be on vacation.
00:00:55.860
But I just needed to get to a couple of these stories, which are not evergreen.
00:00:59.040
And I needed to talk to you about them before they got old and before Glenn gets here,
00:01:04.380
some of which he'll have no interest in, some of which he will.
00:01:11.420
These days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance.
00:01:14.980
Whether at home, on the road, or just living everyday life,
00:01:18.140
having a reliable way to protect yourself and your family is crucial.
00:01:23.640
Berna is a game-changing, less lethal, self-defense tool.
00:01:28.380
Compact, powerful, and easy to use, it provides the confidence to act in any situation.
00:01:33.360
Berna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, and kinetic projectiles
00:01:37.440
to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance.
00:01:42.280
Berna can be shipped direct to your door, and it's legal in all 50 states.
00:01:47.420
Berna is proudly American, with products hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:01:50.800
Look, sometimes a firearm is not the right choice for you,
00:02:04.480
and learn why thousands of people and law enforcement agencies
00:02:17.080
Number one, and I'm sure Glenn and I are going to be discussing this,
00:02:19.580
the left is melting down over the Trump administration's attempt to deport this leader
00:02:24.960
of this shockingly anti-Semitic group on the campus of Columbia University.
00:02:39.280
He has had his student visa withdrawn, and he has had his green card withdrawn.
00:02:44.180
And the left has made him into Rosa Parks, that he is a civil rights figure of our time,
00:02:51.560
that he was simply exercising his right to free speech,
00:02:54.560
and that this is an unfair and disgusting crackdown on it.
00:02:59.740
It's some people, I mean, Glenn is of the left, but, you know,
00:03:03.440
obviously makes a ton of sense, and we love Glenn, and he's a lawyer, and he's smart.
00:03:07.240
I would say he's much more antagonistic to Israel than most of the people on the right are.
00:03:14.760
But he is definitely defensive of Khalil here, saying that this is unconstitutional,
00:03:25.000
Our friends over at FIRE, which is big on campus free speech,
00:03:29.720
they are against what the Trump administration is doing to Khalil.
00:03:33.400
Ricky Schlott, who interned for our show, writes for the New York Post now,
00:03:36.720
and also co-wrote a book with the guy who runs FIRE.
00:03:43.000
There are some folks on the right who have free speech concerns about what's happening here.
00:03:49.460
But having taken a few days to look at the law,
00:03:52.540
I have zero qualms about this guy getting his ass booted back to Syria.
00:04:05.280
He got a golden ticket into the United States of America.
00:04:13.760
He got into one of our most prestigious universities.
00:04:17.360
We let him study alongside American kids who were the next generation of leadership.
00:04:24.700
He decided to join up with this group that is, without a question, pro-Hamas.
00:04:31.300
That was allegedly distributing pro-Hamas pamphlets, leaflets, promotional materials.
00:04:39.360
He was extremely defensive of what had been done by Hamas on 10-7.
00:04:47.180
And he recognized that even though he was here on a temporary status,
00:04:52.960
yes, we give him a green card, but that you're not a citizen yet,
00:04:55.320
that he should be in a more of a supportive role for this organization that was organizing
00:05:04.600
He couldn't quite keep it together long enough to get citizenship.
00:05:09.960
And so by his own admission, he was a spokesperson for the group that was on Columbia's campus
00:05:19.320
Were they there to protest all the dead babies in Israel?
00:05:25.460
They actually looked at that as an acceptable form of armed resistance.
00:05:30.340
We heard that from Khalil's own mouth, at least according to a fellow student at Columbia
00:05:35.620
who posted a video of him speaking for the group whose spokesman he was,
00:05:46.660
Columbia student David Lederer posted this on X on March 11th.
00:05:49.760
It's a little hard to hear, but try to listen here in SOT 14A.
00:05:52.360
As you've said, you've seen, like, Palestinians have tried multiple sources of resistance,
00:05:59.680
whether it is armed, unarmed resistance, peaceful, whatever.
00:06:04.360
But Israel and the propaganda always find, like, something to attack.
00:06:09.680
Like, they tried armed resistance, which is, again, legitimate and international law.
00:06:18.380
Okay, so what you heard there is Palestinians have tried multiple forms of resistance,
00:06:24.360
whether it's armed, unarmed resistance, peaceful, whatever.
00:06:26.800
But Israel and their propaganda always find something to attack.
00:06:30.020
We tried armed resistance, which is, again, legitimate under international law.
00:06:40.160
We don't have to actually support him in that point of view,
00:06:43.720
because what he's really doing there is endorsing Hamas and its terror tactics.
00:06:49.220
And endorsing a terrorist group now gets you on to even shakier ground.
00:06:55.020
So he's still on firmer, you know, terra firma versus what actually is going to get him deported.
00:07:01.180
I'm just giving you background on who this guy is.
00:07:03.080
So then he goes and he decides to be the spokesperson for the group that took over Hamilton Hall,
00:07:09.580
that had campus encampments, that made it difficult for Jewish students to pass from A to B on the campus of Columbia,
00:07:17.040
that made it impossible for anyone, Jewish students, professors, cops, to enter Hamilton Hall,
00:07:24.580
a facility for which all students pay, including the Jews.
00:07:29.160
But they weren't wanted, because this group took over Hamilton Hall, acted like a bunch of thugs,
00:07:35.700
put barricades up against the doors, smashed windows with their cafeas on,
00:07:42.960
and effectively held hostage for a time a couple of security guards who were in the building,
00:07:49.180
including, you know, guys, maintenance workers who weren't making a lot of dough,
00:07:54.560
But here's some video, just in case you have forgotten, about what his darling little student
00:07:59.400
group that he's the spokesman for, he was the negotiator for, did at Columbia last year.
00:08:04.780
The caption reads, from our side of the barricades.
00:08:19.320
And sure enough, it's all these cafea-wearing Columbia students screaming and leaning,
00:08:24.120
full-body leaning against the doors, large wooden doors, and there are several sets of them,
00:08:29.420
into Hamilton Hall, free, free Palestine, as they chant.
00:08:47.300
They've got ladders, but they're using the barricade.
00:09:08.100
They're called police officers, and when they tell you to sit your ass down, you do it.
00:09:13.800
Or you get arrested, or possibly deported, Khalil.
00:09:18.360
Now, he was smart enough not to actually go, as far as we know, to that particular event,
00:09:32.560
Zero chance he's becoming an American citizen now.
00:09:34.860
But he wants to hold on to that green card, and he wants to stay here in the United States.
00:09:38.120
And he says, oh, I'm married, I'm married to an American, and I'm expecting an American baby.
00:09:49.240
His ideology seems to parallel perfectly what he will find over there.
00:09:55.100
Sharia law, you can find it in lots of places in the Middle East.
00:10:05.740
He acted as the liaison between this lawless student group and the university.
00:10:13.860
And continued to go into, this is our understanding as of this date.
00:10:16.460
There hasn't been a full recitation of it, but I've spent the weekend poring through the
00:10:22.320
And it appears, there's no question he was the spokesperson for this group that was behind
00:10:25.840
the encampments and behind the taking of Hamilton Hall.
00:10:28.180
And he was in there with the administrators, apparently on a daily basis, saying, basically,
00:10:33.420
you give us what we want, which is to divest Colombia from all of Israel, or you get more
00:10:41.600
And Andy McCarthy of National Review has had a couple of great pieces of this, on this,
00:10:47.180
And he likened this to the guy, Robert Duvall character in The Godfather, Tom Hogan, who
00:10:55.740
went over to see the movie producer, who wouldn't cast the Frank Sinatra-like character in that
00:11:02.280
And, you know, just kind of like, it'd be great if you'd cast him.
00:11:10.720
But, geez, we'd really appreciate it if you cast him in this role.
00:11:22.360
His favorite racing horse wound up with its bloody head in his bed in one of the most infamous
00:11:30.960
And it's as if you have that guy saying, well, I just, it was speech.
00:11:37.280
All I said is, I'm not here to threaten you, but, you know, we'd really appreciate it if
00:11:49.200
You really are the implicit muscle for a terror group, a lawless group and a terror group,
00:11:57.840
This guy was in there saying, you divest from Israel or you get the hose again.
00:12:08.640
And even the Columbia administrators, the farthest left people you could probably find in America,
00:12:14.620
kept saying, no, we're not going to do that, Khalil.
00:12:17.540
No, your requests are a little bit much, even for us.
00:12:23.360
And that is why the NYPD had to break down the doors with stun grenades.
00:12:31.540
They were guilty of trespassing, of resisting arrest, of destruction of property.
00:12:39.180
There have been plenty of criminal charges that have been unleashed on some 40 plus people who
00:12:45.180
participated in what we saw there on camera and the related events.
00:12:49.900
Now, Khalil may or may not have been one of them.
00:12:54.480
I know he has joined a motion to stop the university from releasing what it knows about
00:13:00.900
Khalil to the federal government, which is trying to find out right now.
00:13:06.020
He and some handful of others have just filed a motion trying to stop the university from
00:13:10.620
revealing the full extent of what they know about Khalil.
00:13:14.780
OK, if you didn't do anything that's problematic, it was just speech.
00:13:17.700
It was just your little speeches, your thoughts.
00:13:20.400
Why would you want to stop it from going to the feds?
00:13:23.000
You should actually be thrilled to see that go.
00:13:30.140
All I did was speak words, pro Hamas words, but they were words.
00:13:34.300
No, there's a reason he doesn't want that stuff released.
00:13:39.580
Even if it's just words, there is a question about whether he could be deported, notwithstanding
00:13:45.000
Go listen to Andy McCarthy and his podcast on NR.
00:13:49.940
And he talks about how this is what jihadists do and have been planning to do in America
00:13:57.760
They try to take advantage of our laws and our constitution, which is very permissive
00:14:02.220
when it comes to the expression of ideas and the freedom of assembly.
00:14:06.300
And then they try to martyr themselves and bit by bit change the law just to make it a bit
00:14:10.460
more flexible, a little bit better for their side.
00:14:12.460
And so there is a real reason for the secretary of state to be able to say, I consider that
00:14:19.640
person, not yet a citizen, a threat to the foreign policy of the United States of America.
00:14:26.360
Because we don't wish to send the message to other countries that they can send their jihad
00:14:31.400
lovers over here to congregate on American campuses and try to convert our youngsters who
00:14:38.620
are impressionable young teenagers for at least the first half of college into joining the jihad.
00:14:47.680
And there's no question the secretary of state has the power to do that.
00:14:56.320
It doesn't if what you're just speaking about is jihad or supportive terror.
00:15:01.480
Yeah, you're in trouble if you're not an actual citizen, not if you're an American citizen,
00:15:06.920
But if you're somebody who's less than a citizen asking us to continue the privilege of you
00:15:13.020
And your conduct is where I really want this to land.
00:15:34.760
I'll say it in my soft voice, the one that Khalil uses when he talks on camera, when he
00:15:45.080
Yeah, I like I, I would hate for more maintenance workers to get hurt.
00:15:51.000
I would hate for more cops to have to endanger their young lives.
00:15:56.080
I really would hate for more property that the Jews have paid for to get destroyed here
00:16:00.540
on this pretty little campus of yours, administrators.
00:16:09.880
He and I, I'm sure, will have a robust debate about this because he's definitely on the other
00:16:19.180
A couple of other things that I definitely want to get to.
00:16:26.240
She's a, she's a new Senator from Michigan and I never heard of this person.
00:16:30.560
You probably haven't either, but she's trying to make a name for herself because she's the
00:16:33.860
newly elected Senator from the state of Michigan.
00:16:36.320
And she was on the same ballot that elected Trump because Michigan went for Trump and she
00:16:44.400
You guys are going to love me because you same people who put Trump in office and my friends
00:16:59.320
And I realized you thought, okay, I'll put Trump in there and then I'll put this kind
00:17:05.340
She's just as hard partisan as the rest of them.
00:17:08.040
So she goes on the view this past week and decides to try to explain Trump and Trump
00:17:18.700
So she gets Trump, she gets MAGA and here she was, you know, I guess all of our spokesperson
00:17:31.680
And I always often say this, you know, we're, we're about to turn 250 years old, right?
00:17:38.060
These are our, like, like our angry teenage years, right?
00:17:41.780
We are going through this push and pull where we're happy.
00:17:46.700
And what do you do when you have a teenager who's threatening themselves and others?
00:17:51.480
You just try to get them through this period alive so that their brain can fully form
00:17:55.840
and you can come back to kind of what, what a country.
00:18:03.680
And so for me, I think that this, I don't think there's a single American who feels like
00:18:10.720
Well, she's not talking about Trump, but this is not normal.
00:18:14.380
And it's because we're in our teenage years where our brain is not fully formed.
00:18:18.000
So we're just suffering a temporary form of, of neurosis, of delusion, of insanity.
00:18:27.100
We're just these mature idiots whose brains have not yet matured.
00:18:29.820
But trust us, Elise, somehow she's got the magic that we don't have.
00:18:41.200
Like we're the dumb kids who need to be controlled.
00:18:49.340
She was the one who decided to try to strangle Pete Hegseth during his confirmation hearing.
00:18:57.200
And unlike all the other women, she did not appear in those highlight roles of like Maisie
00:19:02.100
Hirono and Kirsten Gillibrand, the ones who were pummeling Pete.
00:19:05.420
And we're like, ah, she did not because she doesn't, she doesn't sound like that.
00:19:10.220
Ah, but she is just as annoying, probably more dangerous and just as partisan.
00:19:20.220
Michiganders, you did not elect a moderate and anybody thinking about this person as any
00:19:28.040
So for a couple of weeks or months now, I've been asking my team to put together these sound
00:19:33.740
She did a Pete and they've, they've done a great job, but they, they never got like all
00:19:39.320
So I actually went back myself and all my free time this week, which I did have a lot
00:19:48.400
It's a little disjointed, but you're going to get the feeling of why I dislike this person
00:19:54.700
We don't go over a minute unless it's like extraordinary.
00:20:04.980
I did three tours armed in Iraq alongside the military and have worked for four different
00:20:12.400
secretaries of defense, both Democrat and Republican proudly.
00:20:16.320
I'm also a Democrat representing a state that Trump won, right?
00:20:21.060
Do you agree that there are some orders that can be given by the commander in chief that
00:20:30.760
Um, but I reject the premise that President Trump is going to be giving illegal orders.
00:20:36.320
But if, do you believe there is such a thing as an illegal order that Joe Biden or any other
00:20:43.080
Is there anything that a commander in chief could ask you to do with the uniformed military
00:20:47.000
that would be in violation of the U.S. Constitution?
00:20:50.400
Senator, anybody of any party could give an order that is against the Constitution or against
00:20:56.400
So are you saying that you would stand in the breach and push back if you were given an
00:21:01.860
I start by saying I reject the premise that President Trump will be giving any illegal
00:21:10.440
Your predecessor in a Trump administration, Secretary Esper, was asked and did use uniformed
00:21:18.920
He was given the order to potentially shoot at them.
00:21:22.400
He later apologized publicly for those actions.
00:21:35.980
I'm not going to put words in the mouth of Secretary Esper or anybody else.
00:21:49.500
Have you been personally involved in discussions of using the U.S. military active duty inside
00:21:58.120
I'm glad we finally got to the topic of border security equaling national security because
00:22:02.500
it's been abdicated and ignored for the last four years.
00:22:06.000
You're going to be in charge of three million people.
00:22:11.220
So have you been in conversations about using the active duty in any way, whether it's setting
00:22:17.160
up in detention camps, policing dangerous cities?
00:22:20.720
Have you been involved in any of those conversations?
00:22:23.680
Certainly, I have been involved in conversations relating to doing things this administration
00:22:29.040
has not, which is secure the southern border and not allow floods of illegals to enter
00:22:35.180
our country through an invasion that threatens the American people.
00:22:38.680
Do you support the use of active duty military in supporting detention camps?
00:22:43.660
Senator, everything we will do would be lawful and under the Constitution.
00:22:47.220
But I recognize that this administration has advocated its responsibility.
00:22:51.580
President Trump is going to restore order at the border, prevent our enemies from invading.
00:22:55.940
And yes, he has said mass deportations will be a part of what happened.
00:22:59.580
In the spirit of preserving the institution that I think we both care about legitimately,
00:23:07.560
One, you said you will not change the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is what governs
00:24:01.160
But I totally have the same respect for the military as you do.
00:24:07.120
I went as a CIA analyst to Iraq to help with intelligence, and that's basically the same
00:24:12.840
as strapping a gun on my back and going and actually having to shoot bad guys.
00:24:19.280
I, Elise Locken, will acknowledge that you might actually care about the military.
00:24:30.680
She's truly like, she's, I guess, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
00:24:38.380
I don't know, a partisan and nonpartisan's clothing.
00:24:40.800
I'm not sure exactly how I want to say it other than don't trust her.
00:24:53.020
Because I think Michiganders genuinely believe that this would be somebody who possibly could
00:24:56.920
work with Trump, who wouldn't have TDS, who could go to Washington and represent the people
00:25:02.700
who don't hate him, who actually voted for him for president, but aren't necessarily Republicans
00:25:23.880
And I really, really, really hope you make a better choice because this woman is nasty.
00:25:32.480
The way she spoke to him about his military service, like I will deign to tell you that
00:25:41.260
Who gives a shit whether you believe Pete Hegseth cares about the troops?
00:25:47.160
How dare you say that to a man who's been deployed three times to Gitmo, to Iraq, to
00:25:53.900
Afghanistan, and has laid his life on the line for his country?
00:25:57.220
How dare you speak that way and then get out there and talk to the rest of us like we're
00:26:04.280
And that's the only reason why we voted for Trump, because our brains aren't fully developed.
00:26:14.920
While we're on members of Congress, Sarah, formerly Tim McBride, has been elected as
00:26:25.820
And this is the person who led to the whole controversy over whether we were going to be
00:26:30.740
letting men posing as women use the bathrooms belonging to women on Capitol Hill.
00:26:35.620
Remember Nancy Mace petitioned the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, to say, please don't allow that.
00:26:41.820
Now, in that case, it's kind of an academic exercise because all these congressmen have
00:26:49.820
And do you really want Sarah, formerly known as Tim McBride, walking down, you know, in
00:26:58.020
I'm going to use this public bathroom that belongs to a woman.
00:27:00.000
And there's your little girl who's there on a tour with her eighth grade class and bumping
00:27:04.320
into this man posing as a woman in a skirt going to the bathroom.
00:27:12.500
And so Speaker Mike Johnson actually did change the policy to say you have to use the
00:27:23.860
God, there's a reason I'm struggling with the names and I'm going to get to that.
00:27:28.060
It's throwing a fit right now through the surrogates because McBride was at a House hearing
00:27:33.960
and Representative Keith, Keith Self, who's a Republican from Texas, referred to Representative
00:27:53.160
And Representative Self referred to McBride as Mr., leading another congressman to have
00:28:05.000
And the hearing ended over him using the word Mr.
00:28:12.220
I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
00:28:21.540
Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please?
00:28:25.440
Yes, it's a it's a we have set the standard on the floor of the House and I'm simply.
00:28:35.720
Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from
00:28:54.540
I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent.
00:28:59.140
You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the
00:29:17.180
And shame on you, Bill Keating, Democrat from Massachusetts, who used the opportunity of
00:29:52.500
It's when you try to rub your belly and pat your head at the same time.
00:29:58.720
Like the left and the right, they don't really want to do the same thing.
00:30:03.300
There's an incongruity happening inside your brain.
00:30:06.340
And that's what was happening to Representative Self, who knew what he was looking at was a
00:30:16.300
You might look with the long hair to some people like a woman.
00:30:28.020
And this is what Sarah decided to say about the issue after the fact.
00:30:34.160
We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection.
00:30:43.380
I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.
00:30:48.800
I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me,
00:30:55.380
thinking about how to lower the costs for American families.
00:30:58.580
I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me,
00:31:04.000
figuring out how to make government actually work better, rather than making it work worse
00:31:16.120
The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues.
00:31:26.320
So you get to stop with the lectures on the culture wars.
00:31:29.540
OK, you're a man with either a wig or with women's hair.
00:31:39.000
But you're wearing a fucking dress and you've got a dick.
00:31:45.260
You might not be in a position to lecture Republicans on the culture wars.
00:31:50.600
You're the one trying to pervert the culture right now.
00:31:53.740
The vast majority of male to female trans people are auto-gynophiles.
00:32:06.120
They get an erection by putting on women's clothing and making the rest of us participate in the delusion.
00:32:16.860
He wouldn't participate in anyone else's delusion.
00:32:24.900
I don't want to participate in anybody's fetish.
00:32:27.060
There are guys who get off and dressing in a diaper and having women pretend that they're their little baby.
00:32:32.080
I'm not participating in that from afar or any place else.
00:32:34.940
I don't have to see this person when he's out of the bedroom and say,
00:32:41.200
And I don't have to look at Sarah, formerly Tim McBride, and say,
00:32:49.380
The reason I'm stuttering on it is because we know what the truth is.
00:32:56.520
And that's why when you try to say, Miss, or Congresswoman, you can't.
00:33:04.780
There's like a second of, like, pause because it's the head and the belly thing.
00:33:12.960
I have mentioned this piece to you guys many times, okay?
00:33:26.840
This thing was like contraband on the internet for quite some time after it was initially posted.
00:33:39.540
And now it's on the internet, and you can just Google it and read it yourself.
00:33:44.900
This is a couple years ago, so it's a brave piece.
00:33:47.860
There's a lot of chat around pronouns right now, specifically preferred pronouns,
00:33:52.460
by which is usually meant the pronouns a person would prefer other people to use
00:33:55.660
when they are the subject being discussed by those people.
00:34:01.120
Um, they, they bill it as a simple politeness, a courtesy.
00:34:06.880
They go on to say, I've also heard many people declaring that anyone who won't comply,
00:34:10.940
usually directed as a woman, but here it was a man,
00:34:20.620
That is what Representative Faith was accused of.
00:34:28.180
What he did was actually gender Tim, now Sarah, correctly.
00:34:33.640
I'm not trying to be disrespectful of McBride by, quote, deadnaming him.
00:34:39.000
My general policy is if you change your name for whatever reason, I'll go along with your new name.
00:34:46.060
So I will call you Sarah if I must, but I will not call you she or her or miss or missus or congresswoman.
00:35:00.560
If, if your name is now suddenly Sarah because you changed it legally, then that, that's your new reality and I'm fine to go along with it.
00:35:07.640
The reason I'm now saying Sarah, formerly Tim, is because I'm trying to make a point to you about why accurate pronouns are so important
00:35:15.460
and why it's so hard to play the game, the delusion game they want us to.
00:35:29.920
One of the biggest obstacles to halting the stampede over women's rights, uh, is pronoun and preferred name courtesy.
00:35:36.660
People severely underestimate the psychological impact to themselves and to the, and to others of compliance.
00:35:44.960
And now they go on to talk about, forgive me, I don't know whether, uh, Barra Kerr is a man or a woman.
00:35:51.240
So I, I don't know what the pronouns are here, but Kerr goes on to talk about how there's this test.
00:35:57.260
You see all these colors I'm holding up there, they're colors like blue, gray, red, blue, orange, red, whatever.
00:36:03.020
But these colors in this test are not in their proper, like color, like blue in this thing, um, is written as blue, but so is yellow.
00:36:21.880
And how there is this experiment that you can take that shows how much harder it is for you to say the color of the words written in front of you when they're in the wrong color.
00:36:42.160
You have this conscious awareness that, and, and, and a, and a subconscious awareness that you're fighting a conflict, that something's wrong about what you're being asked to say.
00:36:53.700
And using preferred pronouns, Barra Kerr goes on, does the same.
00:36:58.520
It alters your attention, your speed of processing, your automaticity.
00:37:04.900
You pay less heed to what you say, what you, what you want to say, and more to what is expected of you.
00:37:19.420
Do we want hearings in the halls of Congress with a bunch of congressmen who are slowed down, are confused, and who are less reactive to what they're hearing?
00:37:37.100
And it's not cruel to try to avoid that unnecessary distraction and hampering of our lawmakers.
00:37:52.000
Mr. Self, I keep calling him Mr. Faith, Mr. Self.
00:37:56.580
He was standing up for reality and for the ability to function in his job in as clean and easy and effective a manner as possible.
00:38:09.760
Notwithstanding the obvious delusion of the man wearing a skirt up on the dais with him.
00:38:17.280
The thing about pronouns are rohypno in this piece that really stuck out at me is it ties back to Gavin DeBecker's The Gift of Fear.
00:38:30.840
And almost every woman I know has read that book.
00:38:33.580
And if you're a dad or a brother, you need to buy it for all the women in your life.
00:38:43.240
Because Gavin DeBecker's a national security expert.
00:38:46.960
He has been fighting to prevent people who have been stalking victims from getting restocked to tighten laws around this.
00:38:53.460
He's been on the security teams of our biggest and most well-known celebrities and business executives, politicians, you name it.
00:39:04.400
And Gavin DeBecker wrote The Gift of Fear many years ago, and it's about how women have an innate sixth sense.
00:39:11.560
And it's the thing that tells you late at night when you're getting out of the parking garage and getting into the elevator, if you see a sketchy male character in there, don't go in.
00:39:24.280
Or when you see somebody come up to you as you have your groceries and you're trying to open up your front door of your house who says, oh, let me help you.
00:39:32.060
And you've got that tingling sense in the back of your neck, go up.
00:39:39.980
But you have this other side of you that's groomed by society.
00:39:53.040
That gift of fear and the way women are raised, girls are raised.
00:40:04.460
This is doing the kindness and being neighborly.
00:40:15.020
You're just going to feel rejected in there like you think he's some sort of a pervert.
00:40:19.280
Get in the locked box with the person who's making all of your spidey senses go off.
00:40:25.680
So that's what Gavin DeBecker writes about in The Gift of Fear.
00:40:33.040
And we must not let it be dulled by fake or preferred pronouns, which ask us to reject
00:40:43.380
our innate senses, our innate understanding of what is real and what isn't in the name
00:40:50.800
of kindness, politeness, courtesy, common courtesy, or decency.
00:41:00.240
Have you no decency is what was said in that exchange, that it was indecent for him to call
00:41:15.460
And here is what they say about the pronouns are like rohypnol.
00:41:23.660
You've had a lifetime's experience learning to be alert to him and relax to her.
00:41:32.680
It's not to say all men are evil or dangerous, but guys, you know what we're talking about.
00:41:36.460
You know what, you know, if you've sent a young girl off to college, you know exactly
00:41:40.280
who you've warned her about or off to some party in her later high school years.
00:41:44.300
You're not really worried about her fellow girlfriends sexually assaulting her.
00:41:49.300
They can do different kinds of damage, but not that.
00:41:52.580
It's men who in the overwhelming number of cases involving sexual assault or harm are
00:42:09.240
Your subconscious brain is helping you not get eaten by the saber tooth tiger that your
00:42:17.880
Incongruent pronouns also make your brain work much harder.
00:42:21.460
Not just when you're using them, but when you are receiving them as information, you are
00:42:26.140
working constantly to keep that story straight in your head, male or female, which one again?
00:42:37.040
And you are still affected emotionally and instinctively by incongruent pronouns, nouns, and names, despite your efforts to be immune.
00:42:47.820
You can know perfectly the actual sex of a male person, and yet you will still react differently if someone else calls them she instead of he.
00:43:02.260
And the piece concludes by saying, I want to be alert.
00:43:07.940
I want people to see the real picture, and I want those instinctive reactions that we feel when something is wrong to be unblunted, undulled by this cheap but effective psychological trick.
00:43:19.440
I feel like I owe this to myself, and I absolutely owe it to other women, and that is why I will not use preferred pronouns.
00:43:37.680
And that is why it was totally appropriate and right and correct to refer to McBride as Mr.
00:43:50.660
And, Bill Keating, you take a lesson, sir, because you not only undermine the effectiveness of your hearing, but you, in doing what you did, endangered every girl and woman on Capitol Hill, in your home state of Massachusetts, and in this country.
00:44:07.980
We don't need to participate in McBride's delusion.
00:44:11.260
It is not impolite or unkind or rude to call a man Mr.
00:44:18.900
And the overwhelming odds are that that man is indulging in a sexual fetish up at that microphone or on that dais, and you do not want to participate in that.
00:44:35.860
A couple of other things I need to get to before we move off into the weekend.
00:44:45.740
And that, okay, I might save this one for Glenn Greenwald.
00:44:54.740
I'm, like, my team has pulled so many good things together that I've been texting them about all week.
00:44:58.360
I'm on the fence about whether I should go for them.
00:45:00.660
I'll do this next one because I wouldn't do it.
00:45:07.940
And I remember watching some bits from Paris Fashion Week when, you know, I was younger, especially, and a younger woman and cared about such things and, like, saw the fashions.
00:45:15.820
I've never been particularly, like, a fashion queen, but I pay some attention.
00:45:21.140
I mean, like, the most beautiful women on earth strutting down the runway, totally freaking iconic.
00:45:37.980
Carla Bruni, Claudia Schaefer, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen.
00:45:49.040
They look about 10 feet tall in their gold Versace dresses with the shimmer.
00:46:14.000
Stunning, stunning seven-foot-tall models with, you know, some cutouts on the dress but still appropriate.
00:46:20.540
Perfectly shapely, not anorexic for what it's worth, you know, just, like, great-looking.
00:46:39.620
Whenever I saw things like that, I would think to myself, I'm like, I gotta try harder.
00:46:45.680
You know, like, maybe I will lose that last two pounds.
00:46:47.660
I won't have that dessert, or maybe I will, like, spend five more minutes at the makeup
00:46:51.420
table just to try something new with the eyeliner.
00:46:53.520
Like, I think you feel good when you look good.
00:46:58.560
God, there was some football player, Doug, told me about who used to say, when you look
00:47:04.440
good, or when you feel good, or when you look good, you feel good.
00:47:20.660
Well, we've gone a different way over in Paris, where we had a very different kind of fashion
00:47:27.380
week, including this man in a red dress that, look, he's bald.
00:47:54.300
He's wearing, I think, a white skull cap and white makeup on his face.
00:48:07.680
They're proud of the disgusting, huge, fat belly, which is also being shown in the slit
00:48:13.700
And absolutely no attempt, you know, to sort of work it like, you know, like a Laverne
00:48:25.240
And look at these idiots watching him in the in the gallery.
00:48:40.040
Because they need to socialize in these circles.
00:48:44.680
They have to be at the right place with the right drink, with the right people so they can
00:48:52.520
What if you what if you were to be banned from the next event to Paris Fashion Week?
00:48:58.820
Now, there's more about this particular this particular fashion event.
00:49:03.960
And I've got to find it because it's unbelievable.
00:49:07.500
By the way, this was this is during International Women's Week, too.
00:49:22.840
OK, reading that from my team, which translates to fecal matter, piece of shit, which is absolutely
00:49:34.600
Because this is a piece of shit attempted fashion.
00:49:37.140
It's a Canadian design duo named Hannah Rose Dalton and Stephen Raj Bhaskaran.
00:49:45.760
And those are the ones who chose a bald, overweight man with white makeup to walk the runway in the
00:49:56.520
He's a DJ and a performance artist who goes by Louis G.
00:50:01.640
Louis's Instagram shows that he is a man who dresses as a woman.
00:50:05.780
But all of this has me wondering whether this is a real fashion pair.
00:50:10.300
Why would they call their show Fecal Matter in French?
00:50:16.580
I took Spanish, which is literally piece of shit.
00:50:26.920
But I think instead it's probably just an effort to be as risque and push the envelope as possible
00:50:39.000
There was another moment in Paris Fashion Week that was right up the same alley.
00:50:44.420
This one was from Dutch designer Duran LaTink's Duranimal collection, where a male model who
00:50:53.040
had double D, at least, prosthetic breasts, walked the runway.
00:50:59.880
These things are jiggling like nobody's business.
00:51:11.580
Somebody you would have used to have to pay money to see this in a circle.
00:51:14.300
For the listening audience, it's a very tall man with pants.
00:51:17.560
And it appears to be no shirt, though I'm told it's one of those like Bianca Sensori tops
00:51:25.480
It was a matched skin tone top, creating the illusion he was topless.
00:51:42.920
Every season, we're trying to sort of surprise ourselves with how we can change an original
00:51:48.620
And we're going to do whatever the fuck we want because we're free.
00:51:56.280
And we will not buy any of your clothing, okay?
00:52:02.260
There are always going to be mentally deranged people in our society, like the two people
00:52:10.220
And then there will be equally cynical advantage takers, like the designers behind this whole
00:52:16.820
The only solution for the rest of us is to say no, call out the depravity and register
00:52:25.160
That's all we can do, or we're going to lose everything to these people.
00:52:29.680
Already, our society has devolved to the point where women are running around half naked
00:52:34.840
You know, we talked about what we saw at the Oscars.
00:52:39.760
You know, Bianca Sensori, I just mentioned her.
00:52:42.380
People are already literally running around naked to get attention.
00:52:45.520
And now it's perfectly on brand for Fashion Week, which is supposed to have like a preview
00:52:50.840
of what's coming to be naked too, but also trans and a man pretending to be a woman, a man,
00:52:57.080
I guess, mocking women's breasts, which are actually a mechanism to keep infants alive
00:53:02.820
and not your play thing, not your fucking accessory, you Danish freak.
00:53:08.560
Um, it's just so deeply offensive and all the rest of us can do is continue objecting.
00:53:17.940
Don't tune in when it's somebody whose product we can punish.
00:53:21.680
Uh, but to just let it go with like a chuckle, that's not good enough.
00:53:27.000
This is, this is truly sick stuff and, uh, it cannot define us and it cannot continue.
00:53:33.460
Whether it's some guy dressed as a woman in the U S Congress demanding to be called
00:53:37.640
No, some guy putting on prosthetic breasts again, which are an organ that help children
00:53:43.400
sustain life, not your toy, um, or uncle fester putting on a red dress and trying to walk through
00:53:51.240
a fashion week as I don't, I don't even know what he was trying to do.
00:53:54.540
I'm not sure, but I liked him a lot better when he was on the Adams fan family.
00:54:01.420
Was it the Adams family or was it the monsters?
00:54:05.200
I get my, my monster shows from the 1970s confused.
00:54:11.300
And I have a lot more to discuss, including the Michelle Obama podcast and an amazing
00:54:15.640
fact check we're going to be doing on CNN that I think you're really going to enjoy,
00:54:19.340
but we'll save that for when Glenn joins us on Monday.
00:54:40.460
So you're thinking about what to get that person who has everything, or maybe you are
00:54:44.640
