Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:12.280
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. My God, we've got a jam-packed
00:00:17.020
and important show for you today. Irony on full display in Washington, D.C. last night as pro-Palestinian
00:00:23.240
protesters lash out at the DNC, staging, yes, a violent protest, not mostly peaceful,
00:00:31.060
outside the Democratic headquarters. They went, I was going to use a certain word, I'm not going to
00:00:37.060
use that word, they went crazy. They went crazy out there. They injured six cops. They would not
00:00:43.520
leave. They truly were barbarians inside the gate. It came as a shocking new trend has emerged
00:00:53.220
on TikTok. Yashar Ali, who does great reporting online, he's an independent journalist who's
00:00:59.000
broken a lot of big stories, tweeted this out last night and it's gone completely viral.
00:01:05.400
Young Americans are now expressing support for Osama bin Laden after reading his 2002 letter to
00:01:13.880
America following the 9-11 attacks. And instead of reading this letter and being repulsed by it,
00:01:21.480
their eyes have opened wide to how wise bin Laden was. Joining me now, Bethany Mandel and Carol
00:01:29.960
Markowitz. Bethany is a contributing writer for Deseret News. Carol's a columnist at the New York
00:01:35.360
Post and host of her own podcast, The Carol Markowitz Show. Together, they recently wrote the
00:01:39.480
book, Stolen Youth, how radicals are erasing innocence and indoctrinating a generation. Well,
00:01:45.760
that's on point. Bethany Carol, thank you both so much for being here today. I just, I, but we have
00:01:54.040
to start with the 9-11 thing. It's just too, it's too much for me. I don't, anyone who lived through 9-11
00:01:59.480
is recoiling in horror at what these young people are saying. They've been indoctrinated. Their minds
00:02:08.300
have been twisted. They've been brainwashed. They're weak. They're weak, pathetic souls. And I
00:02:13.960
just posted on Twitter a minute ago to their parents. You failed. You failed them. You failed
00:02:19.480
us. Here's what I'm talking about. Just a sampling of what's been posted. Everyone should read it. If
00:02:26.900
you haven't read it yet, read it. However, be forewarned that this has left me very disillusioned.
00:02:34.340
And I feel the same exact way I felt when I was deconstructing Christianity.
00:02:38.840
I will never look at life the same. I will never look at this country the same. Because in the last
00:02:45.780
20 minutes, my entire viewpoint on the entire life I have believed and I have lived has changed.
00:02:54.840
I need you to stop what you're doing and go read a letter to America. It is literally the craziest
00:03:00.060
thing I've read in a while. And while I can't say that I'm that surprised, I am pretty shocked.
00:03:04.720
In reading the letter, I could only think of this tweet that I saw the other day.
00:03:08.480
Under settler colonialism, any kind of resistance is branded as terrorist because the only acceptable
00:03:15.880
This letter, it becomes apparent to me that the actions of 9-11 and those acts committed against the
00:03:22.640
USA and its people were all just the buildup of our government failing other nations.
00:03:28.100
The way this letter is going viral right now is giving me the greatest sense of relief.
00:03:32.340
If you're Muslim and you've lived in the U.S. since 9-11, you know more truth than the
00:03:36.780
typical citizen. Now it's all coming to light because of Palestine.
00:03:39.880
Unbelievable. Just a note to those morons. 3,000 Americans died on 9-11. Four planes were
00:04:02.600
hijacked thanks to bin Laden and his evil plan. Children as young as two and a half were murdered
00:04:08.520
on board the aircraft that took the lives of innocents who just went to work that day.
00:04:13.680
And remember this man, all right? Let's talk about Kevin Cosgrove to all of you assholes now
00:04:20.580
posting your fandom for Osama bin Laden. Kevin Cosgrove was 46 years old. He was in Tower 2.
00:04:28.420
He called 9-1-1 seeking help as the smoke was billowing into his lungs and he knew he was about
00:04:35.620
to die. He had children. He had a wife and he was utterly helpless because of that evil terrorist
00:04:43.200
who you're now praising. Since you don't look at history, I'm bringing it to you.
00:04:51.960
Lady, there's two of us in his office. We're not ready to die, but it's getting bad.
00:04:57.540
I am here. We can't get there. We can't get there. We can't get there. We can't get there.
00:05:00.540
We can't get there. We can't get there. We can't get there. We can't get there. I'm trying to let them know where you are.
00:05:04.100
And the fire, sir. And it was smoke, really bad. 105, 2-5. All right. Sit tight. We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:05:10.760
There's some shame up. There's smoke, really bad, man. That's all we can do.
00:05:15.540
Where are you? What's where are you guys up to?
00:05:17.660
We're getting there. We're getting there. Doesn't feel like it, man. I got young kids.
00:05:25.340
I know you do, but it doesn't seem like you've got lots of people up here.
00:05:30.880
I know you go out in the building, but we're in here.
00:05:32.800
We're in here. We're in here. We're in here. We're in here.
00:05:39.480
I know you have to be in green here. Can't see.
00:05:56.840
I'm listening to my right. I called and said I was leaving the building.
00:06:06.960
We're looking at all. We're looking at the financial center.
00:06:35.340
Kevin died that day, along with 2,977 other Americans.
00:06:42.200
And we have so lost the youth of this country that now, 20 years later, not 70, not 170,
00:06:52.300
they want to look back and rewrite the history of Osama bin Laden because Palestine, because
00:07:01.360
deconstructing, what, colonization, because there's been a mind meld on college campuses
00:07:09.800
that has corrupted and infected and toxified an entire generation.
00:07:15.280
And now your kids and my kids are going to have to deal with these cretins who hate America
00:07:22.780
because we made them, because their parents failed them, their educators failed them,
00:07:28.600
corporate America continues to fail them, the media continues to fail them, and it's the fight
00:07:34.780
If you don't think this is coming to a school near you or a community near you, you haven't
00:07:40.640
I'm so angry and I'm so grateful to Yashara Ali for monitoring the lunacy over on that platform,
00:07:47.500
TikTok, because without him, we wouldn't have known this.
00:07:54.100
We've been seeing it last night out in front of the DNC.
00:08:05.480
Instead of reading his letter and realizing, I agree with him, I should reevaluate my views.
00:08:17.860
Yeah, I mean, this is exactly why Carol and I wrote Stolen Youth, because it's not just
00:08:27.800
They want to deconstruct and they want to completely break apart Western civilization.
00:08:32.120
They want children and young adults to believe what those kids believe.
00:08:37.240
They want to believe that America is evil and that Western civilization needs to be destroyed
00:08:41.820
right down to the very foundations that, like, men aren't men and women aren't women and
00:08:47.180
And, you know, it's really scary to see that this is something that is allowed to be said,
00:08:55.320
Like, we are 40 days past what happened in Israel.
00:08:59.020
And within days, people were starting to question all of the GoPro and all of the telegraph
00:09:06.540
So if we're going to question what happened on 10-7 when there's ample video evidence,
00:09:13.160
why not question what happened on 9-11 20 years ago?
00:09:17.940
And it's really scary because for, I think, a lot of people of my generation, I'm in my
00:09:23.560
late 30s, 9-11 was a really seminal turning point moment that opened my eyes and changed
00:09:32.580
And honestly, in a lot of ways, this is a weird thing to say, and I'm trying not to get
00:09:37.620
canceled, but in a lot of ways for the good, because it made me understand what the world
00:09:45.120
And as a teenager, I didn't totally understand that.
00:09:47.920
But when you see that take place in front of your eyes, it makes you question everything
00:09:53.080
that's happened, but not in the way that they're questioning it.
00:09:56.640
It made me realize that there is evil in this world, that people will get on a plane and drive
00:10:02.240
it into a building, and they don't care about the innocent lives lost, and that we have to
00:10:06.360
be aware of what makes our country great, and we have to promote that.
00:10:12.860
And they're taking the lesson of 10-7 and twisting it completely in the reverse, that maybe let's
00:10:19.780
see the perspective of the people that raped, violently raped children, that chopped the
00:10:29.060
There is nothing admirable in that point of view.
00:10:34.000
And if you think that there's something that can be gained from, and I'm using this term
00:10:38.740
very loosely, people like that, then there's something broken inside of you that is perhaps
00:10:49.780
It's been right in front of our very eyes now for a long time, but in the past five
00:10:54.760
weeks in particular, the sickness that has spread like the plague across our college campuses
00:11:05.100
You know, you can't deny that it's an infestation.
00:11:10.440
It's not the virus itself, but it spreads the virus.
00:11:12.740
And it's, of course, controlled by the Chinese who hate us.
00:11:15.340
They don't allow their kids to have social media from us.
00:11:19.640
And I do not let the schools or the parents off the hook.
00:11:26.560
I will go on record and tell you this is not going to happen to my children.
00:11:40.600
Step down from the Women's March, which, by the way, it was totally anti-Semitic and we
00:11:47.580
Do some parenting if you're going to bother having a child and stop indoctrinating your
00:11:52.000
own children, to those of you who are on the left, in this pernicious, woke ideology,
00:12:11.260
The idea that my children will someday be making excuses for mass murder is one that
00:12:17.640
It's such an indictment of our education system that these American kids don't realize that
00:12:22.440
they're born, you know, I don't even think third base.
00:12:27.300
And they've been led to believe that they live in this terrible country.
00:12:32.480
I write this piece every year on my Americaversary about how grateful I am to be here, about
00:12:38.100
how much I know that my life could have been so different.
00:12:43.340
And I think just the luck that you have to have to be born in the greatest country in
00:12:48.160
world history and think that you're somehow, you know, born in a bad place and these are
00:12:54.120
the colonizers or whatever nonsense, as if these people wouldn't slit your throats, as
00:12:58.840
if these people wouldn't fly you into a building on the airplane.
00:13:02.760
They just found the body of a peace activist that Hamas had murdered.
00:13:07.460
They didn't care that she had stood up for them, that she had tried to make peace with
00:13:11.460
the Palestinians, that she had wanted a better life for all the Palestinians.
00:13:18.040
So, yeah, you know, one of the things that I would also say is that as we've been traveling
00:13:22.200
around to promote stolen youth, I've heard from so many parents who are like, I lost
00:13:29.120
And I'll say to them, like, did you did you talk about it at home?
00:13:32.960
I thought, you know, I thought they went to a good school.
00:13:38.800
If you don't say it to your children, if you don't live your values and talk about your
00:13:43.080
values and tell them about your beliefs, somebody else is going to fill in that information.
00:13:47.320
And it might be somebody saying, hey, 9-11 wasn't that bad.
00:13:52.200
And we're not going to repeat the contents of the Bin Laden letter here, but suffice it
00:13:55.540
to say, it's all about how terrible America is and Israel and Palestine, like he was in
00:14:05.400
I guess they missed the part about how we're doing.
00:14:08.340
We're living lives of debauchery over here in America.
00:14:11.600
It didn't much like the fact that we had female waitresses.
00:14:23.740
And I really don't want your voices circulated over and over and over again.
00:14:26.760
Now, apparently, TikTok is saying, OK, we're going to remove this content because it violates
00:14:34.460
And they've been they've been the propaganda kings during the whole aftermath of Israel.
00:14:38.880
TikTok is what's helping poison the minds of half these young people who are out on the
00:14:43.320
streets right now, thinking that they're somehow avenging the innocents who killed all of those
00:14:53.200
I mean, that's really what we're seeing is the messaging that you see on TikTok over and
00:15:00.160
I mean, what I don't understand is why we're not having a conversation that is imminent about
00:15:06.080
This is a mind control apparatus that the Chinese Communist Party is operating on our
00:15:14.280
They're they're achieving their their stated goal.
00:15:17.160
And we're just sort of like allowing this to happen as if we don't know what's what the
00:15:23.300
And a lot of it is because you touched about it.
00:15:27.240
They're like, put your iPhone down and actually parent your kids.
00:15:34.720
And it's the same with the United States government.
00:15:38.020
They don't want to actively parent and take TikTok away because they know that people are
00:15:44.320
And Democrats are like, well, you know, the youth vote is so much so much at the core of
00:15:53.000
Sometimes you have to do things that you have to do, even when you're the bad guy, even
00:15:57.780
when, you know, my kids all have a stomach virus right now and they all want to eat candy
00:16:02.600
right now, which is usually what I do in exchange for a Megyn Kelly hit.
00:16:05.980
And they're not getting it today because sorry, y'all, it's not good for you.
00:16:21.200
We talk about like the wine moms put down the wine, step away from the Chardonnay, pick
00:16:26.320
up your child's phone and throw it in the toilet.
00:16:29.320
If you have a particularly young child, that young kids should not be on social media, period.
00:16:37.300
You need to get junior a phone because you've got to pick them up after soccer and you have
00:16:52.860
You're the other kids will figure out how to text junior in order to get him to the party.
00:16:58.140
If they if you cultivate a child who's interesting, who's kind, who's fun to be with, they will
00:17:02.980
find a way they'll remember the magic of texting and reach out to your boy or your girl.
00:17:08.340
He doesn't have to be on TikTok or Snapchat, which has all these backdoors to bullying.
00:17:13.680
It's led directly to tales of suicide that I've witnessed firsthand myself with activists
00:17:23.240
I had I had a woman come up to me a couple of years ago who shall remain nameless and
00:17:27.660
say, you know, my daughter, she seems like she's in a great mood.
00:17:30.960
And then, Carol, she's like she goes on the phone.
00:17:36.100
She goes on the phone and she emerges in a terrible mood.
00:17:40.920
And she the mom said to me, I don't know what to do about it.
00:17:50.240
The idea of people keep using the the analogy that these phones or these apps are similar
00:17:58.580
Well, you wouldn't pay for your kids, heroin or crack.
00:18:01.780
And yet here you are paying for their phone, letting them have this addiction, letting them
00:18:09.720
I think that the oversight is really the whole thing here.
00:18:13.420
It's you know, even if you allow your kids to be on these apps, which is a bad idea for
00:18:19.320
I think that the idea that you have to oversee is one that parents just can't let go of.
00:18:25.880
I like whiskey, but I make sure that I know every single thing that my kids are doing on
00:18:30.720
There's no universe where I'm not aware of every single thing that they look at or pay
00:18:35.120
attention to or, you know, which Mr. Beast video they're particularly into.
00:19:01.640
We need more sane people reproducing because our kids are in for the battle of their lives.
00:19:22.060
You your parents failed, your system failed and you're a failure.
00:19:25.440
And now our kids are going to have to do cleanup because of you.
00:19:28.760
They're going to have to distract themselves from their lovely lives of hard work and family
00:19:32.840
and growth and creativity to deal with your issues, which they'll do because our kids will
00:19:39.400
But I wish it weren't so I wish we were all in it together like America used to be.
00:19:47.700
So actually, before I show this video again, let's just spend a moment on what happened
00:19:54.780
two days ago at the the March for Israel, which was extraordinary.
00:19:59.500
And the numbers range from one hundred and fifty thousand to, you know, up.
00:20:03.960
But there were thousands and thousands and thousands of people out there supporting Israel.
00:20:18.980
People weren't wearing masks to to mask what they were doing.
00:20:22.480
This is in the beginning when when the one particular area and then people just started
00:20:30.700
They were just making a point about love and life and support for Israel.
00:20:34.840
And then there were there was bipartisan support amongst people who were there.
00:20:45.960
So why don't you describe it in your own words?
00:20:49.200
I mean, the crowd estimates were close to three hundred thousand people and it was the security
00:20:58.860
It's sad that that's sort of like the top priority for a Jewish gathering, that the security
00:21:07.760
The fear was of people coming from the outside, but none of them showed up, which was luck.
00:21:13.600
Everyone there, we didn't need security because it was a bunch of singing, a bunch of
00:21:19.200
high school kids and college kids and so, so, so many families.
00:21:23.080
And I mean, my kids, they range in age from 10 to one.
00:21:26.920
And they were playing with all the kids around us and singing songs and running around and,
00:21:33.040
you know, singing the Israeli national anthem and chanting USA, USA.
00:21:42.020
It was really it was such a wonderful display because there were probably an equal number
00:21:46.340
of American flags and Israeli flags and they were, they were proud and they were happy
00:21:52.980
and they were so grateful for the American support.
00:21:57.060
Because everyone there, a lot of them were not Jewish.
00:22:01.120
And I think that that's like really an undercover part of the rally.
00:22:04.640
There were a lot of Christians there and they understood that, you know, what we are doing
00:22:10.480
in what we are doing in Israel is look at that to the direct benefit of the Western world.
00:22:19.420
I mean, in the next segment, we're talking about what's happening outside of the DNC.
00:22:25.300
And if Israel doesn't handle the Hamas problem there, it will come here and it will get worse.
00:22:31.840
And that's something that everyone there understood that this is not just an Israeli problem.
00:22:36.860
This is a Western world infection and we have to, we have to eradicate it.
00:22:44.020
So you, you see the approach that Israel supporters, many people who were Israeli there, American,
00:22:50.500
of course, Christian, non-Christian, Jewish, whatever, all there in solidarity and a peaceful
00:22:55.340
show support for Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East.
00:22:58.440
And then you see these lunatics go out in front of the DNC.
00:23:03.340
This is the Democratic National Committee headquarters because they're not demanding a ceasefire
00:23:13.520
A ceasefire means Hamas regroups and attacks Israel again.
00:23:17.940
People say, oh, it's because you want dead children.
00:23:19.740
No, it's because they want, they want fewer dead children.
00:23:22.080
And the only way to stop the dead children is to stop Hamas.
00:23:36.920
There was no tear gas either, which was confusing to me.
00:23:44.040
The reports were that they were actually, the protesters were pepper spraying the cops.
00:23:49.000
Then they denied that, said it was the other way around.
00:24:02.080
For the listening audience, these are cops pulling with all their might to try to get
00:24:09.780
We're outside the Democratic Party headquarters because this party claims to be on the side
00:24:16.000
And we're saying that we want them to live up to their values and oppose this horrific
00:24:43.340
It was a black woman in the face of a white cop saying, fuck you.
00:24:48.480
As he was trying to keep her back from storming the doors.
00:24:54.520
All the cops were trying to do was push him back.
00:25:05.680
They don't know how to do crowd control anymore.
00:25:10.000
And the hospital, I mean, can you imagine, truly, can you imagine going out there to
00:25:18.880
It's crazy when you read these things in France, like they're not allowed to protest,
00:25:21.980
so it's particularly brave for them to be out there.
00:25:25.720
You forget our core rights and how important they are.
00:25:32.260
This is false imprisonment of the people who are inside.
00:25:34.440
When you ban across the door and don't let them out, they should all be arrested.
00:25:40.700
They're probably going to be back again tonight in some other location.
00:25:47.340
I'd hate to think if you guys were there, you know, openly representing that you're Jewish
00:25:53.060
and waving Israeli flags, what they would have done to you.
00:25:59.360
I mean, it's true chaos right on the streets of Washington with lawmakers having to evacuate
00:26:03.380
the Capitol, members of Congress having to be evacuated from that building.
00:26:10.560
I mean, am I am I underestimating our D.C. authorities?
00:26:14.220
No, I mean, if there was going to be a punishment, they would have been arrested last night.
00:26:18.600
I mean, if you want to rewind to January 6th, a woman was shot when she was trying to
00:26:27.360
If you're if you're violent and you're climbing through a window towards lawmakers, you lose
00:26:33.060
the right to any expectation of like gentleness.
00:26:38.280
And all of those folks like it should have started with tear gas and it should have ended
00:26:45.200
If you are trying to enter that building like game is over.
00:26:48.940
And this is, again, the lack of parenting, but on the part of the police, no one wants
00:26:55.220
to stand up and say it's time to stop now or there will be consequences.
00:27:00.560
They had no issue offering that advice to all the folks on January 6th.
00:27:06.820
There were consequences and there are continued consequences.
00:27:09.920
I think it was like last week someone was finally submitted himself for prison time for what
00:27:19.540
If you went into the Capitol building unlawfully, I like you.
00:27:30.780
So I I don't know about that because there were some people there were some absolute criminals
00:27:36.240
The ones who fought with the cops, they can F right off.
00:27:38.780
But there were others who were waved in, like didn't actually did not realize that they
00:27:42.220
were not allowed to be there, who are being treated like they're hardcore criminals.
00:27:45.460
And I don't think that the that the shooting of Ashley Babbitt was OK.
00:27:49.460
I did not see deadly force coming from her or a deadly threat to that cop.
00:27:54.080
But, you know, should she have been manhandled?
00:28:01.980
And I would have been fine with tear gas or a rubber bullet here.
00:28:05.500
You're breaking the law and you're endangering people.
00:28:08.380
But they don't like the problem is, Carol, they don't man these things appropriately.
00:28:11.700
They continue to underestimate the violence of these crowds.
00:28:14.960
And then they sort of act like, oh, gee, I guess.
00:28:17.500
And then no arrests, just like we're seeing coast to coast in this country.
00:28:24.960
Part of why I think it was so important to see this march for Israel, you know, 300,000
00:28:29.420
people almost, you know, meeting together and marching peacefully, no fires, no assaults,
00:28:34.780
no tearing, tearing down American flags, just singing and praying and being together
00:28:39.160
is that I think Americans forgot that protests don't have to be violent.
00:28:45.160
I mean, when CNN reported that it was a mostly peaceful protest that had, you know, fires
00:28:49.320
in the background, I think they changed the conversation to what protest is really like.
00:28:53.480
I think that we've collectively and maybe not, you know, the three of us here, but a lot
00:28:57.160
of people just believe that that's, oh, that's how protests go now.
00:29:01.960
They break things and they smash things and nothing is done about it.
00:29:07.280
I think the fact that the police often stand down in these situations is a testament to
00:29:12.960
where the police are forced to do, what they're forced to do.
00:29:20.180
And I think that what we've got right now is so little policing going on and so little
00:29:26.300
It's partly why Americans are so worried about their physical safety and just generally
00:29:31.000
about the country's direction, because they feel that nobody is there to protect them.
00:29:35.760
And I think that it would go a long way to see better security at these protests, better
00:29:41.180
policing, better all of this to make us feel like a normal country again, where these kinds
00:29:51.340
It's happening in places like London, where, you know, where are the police when there's thousands
00:29:55.620
and thousands of people breaking stuff and tearing stuff down, and they're just nowhere
00:30:02.120
Imagine yourself going to a protest and locking arm in arm with your fellow protesters so that
00:30:07.880
you can falsely imprison the people inside the building behind you.
00:30:10.960
And then when the cops come and tell you to disperse, you won't.
00:30:16.120
They're trying to pull you off the steps and you fight the cops like the cops don't have
00:30:25.680
That's probably contributing absolutely nothing to society other than this moment of being
00:30:36.480
But the cops won't take it next level because all we're seeing in New York, in D.C., in other
00:30:43.160
cities is payouts to the protesters after the protest.
00:30:47.640
If cops actually do what they need to do to disperse the crowd, they wind up saying, oh,
00:30:53.660
I know you're into this also, but we're not supposed to name these protesters so that we
00:30:59.060
I don't want to hire somebody that does this to police officers.
00:31:01.820
I don't want to hire somebody who blocks the door to keep people from inside.
00:31:05.420
I think that the idea that this is free speech or that they should be protected for some of
00:31:15.700
I'm sure lots of other people don't either, partly why I think these people need to be
00:31:19.460
named and openly, you know, we know we know who they are and and we don't want to have
00:31:25.420
And I think that that's a very sane and normal thing to think right now.
00:31:30.200
This is like who who would want to hire one of these lunatics and they can say they can
00:31:35.660
I'm sure that they can they can get hired by the U.N.
00:31:39.180
They can get hired by the the national chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine.
00:31:43.380
I think Candace Owens is hiring these interns right now.
00:31:49.600
Yeah, no, I mean, I also I want to just make sure that I'm I'm pushing through the point
00:31:56.640
They understand that they're they they don't have they're not their backs are not being
00:32:02.360
This is why it's so hard to find people who will sign up, because when you think about
00:32:06.760
the job description, like who would be interested, we would like you to put your life on the
00:32:12.460
But if you misstep at all, you will be publicly shamed.
00:32:18.660
And like no one in your county, no one in your state, no one maybe even in your precinct
00:32:25.840
And so when they see all of these things happening, the only leverage they really have
00:32:30.760
is, you know, sort of standing there on ground.
00:32:33.420
But why would they why would they push back with any resembling lethal force when they
00:32:38.760
know that if they do so, they do it at their own personal peril?
00:32:42.240
Well, and lethal, we don't want lethal is a bridge too far.
00:32:45.200
Lethal would have been some of these BLM protests, those those BLM riots where they were burning
00:32:52.080
Like this, no, you don't have lethal, but you do know, but in response to that, it's
00:32:57.400
If you're burning buildings down with people inside them, that's when you use lethal force.
00:33:03.420
But you're saying here, which this did not warrant lethal force, but this warrants show
00:33:09.600
A good time to say that Bethany and I do not agree on everything.
00:33:14.520
We do have a lot of, you know, crossover, but sometimes we just veer into our own directions.
00:33:19.820
But if you're lighting buildings on fire, we're all on the same page, right?
00:33:27.600
I mean, obviously, but yes, if you are caught in the act of setting the building on fire,
00:33:33.620
Basically, the law says, you know, lethal, like if you, if you are causing a lethality,
00:33:39.140
the police can respond to you appropriately with lethal force.
00:33:43.600
So if you're not posing an actual threat to somebody's life, they can't shoot you.
00:33:47.820
That's why if you try to carjack somebody and then you run away, they can't shoot you
00:33:52.900
But if you're running with a machine gun and you've just shot somebody, then they can shoot
00:34:04.320
We saw the ABC, ABC News chief White House correspondent calling some of these protests
00:34:08.340
passionate when they looked like this about two weeks ago.
00:34:12.420
And that brings me to Staten Island, where you guys know Julio Rosas.
00:34:19.640
He documented a lot of the Antifa stuff and so on.
00:34:22.300
And now he's gotten some, his sub stack is called mostly peaceful because he's been living
00:34:27.660
in the middle of these things for years now, putting the lie to it.
00:34:29.900
And here's what he found at a pro-Palestine protest out in Staten Island.
00:34:51.680
They said they were going to line up this building blue for Israel.
00:34:56.860
Volumous elected officials that went out with one-sided statements in support of genocide.
00:35:18.220
Starting to sound a lot like Maxine Waters, right?
00:35:23.980
And maybe you could shed some light on we don't want no Tuesday.
00:35:29.080
We want 48 for the listening audience that didn't get what that means.
00:35:33.360
There's this idea that the Palestinians just want their own state, that Hamas is really just,
00:35:40.140
you know, murdering babies and raping women and kidnapping grandmas just because they don't
00:35:46.400
have their own state and they really, really want one.
00:35:52.520
They've turned down their own state a number of times.
00:35:55.560
What they want is for Israel not to exist and for Jews not to have any place to live in the
00:36:01.620
Middle East at all because at the moment, Jews don't live in any of the countries surrounding
00:36:08.060
And that's, you know, the way that they want this to go.
00:36:11.020
I think that a lot of people, I remember AOC came out for the two-state solution at one
00:36:15.900
point or early in her career and she said, you know, she supports a two-state solution
00:36:20.820
and then she had to walk it back the next day because that is no longer what the left
00:36:25.540
They believe in one state called Palestine, no Israel, no Jews.
00:36:29.460
And the idea that from the river to the sea doesn't mean specifically genociding Jews.
00:36:35.740
So I think that there maybe are some people who say things that they don't understand.
00:36:39.680
I want people to understand that there is no two-state solution that any of these people
00:36:45.620
What they want is for Jews to disappear from the region.
00:36:48.860
And what I'm telling people all the time is if you support Palestinians, if you support
00:36:53.040
a free Palestine, if you support a state for them, then the first step is that they need
00:36:58.040
to understand that Israel is not going anywhere.
00:37:03.500
And if you support Palestinians and you want them to have good lives, you'll push them
00:37:08.540
to accept that reality because that really is step one.
00:37:12.560
And so 48 would be at a time when Israel didn't yet have a country, when the Jews did not yet
00:37:18.780
That's what they want to go back to is for all of you people want to pretend these are
00:37:21.660
a bunch of peaceniks because exactly how's that going to happen without the elimination
00:37:32.220
We'll squeeze in a commercial break and we'll come back much, much more as Bethany
00:37:40.440
The media, of course, continues to play its expected role in covering what's happening
00:37:46.100
Most recently, we've been talking from the beginning of this whole conflict about how
00:37:49.620
Hamas has been using hospitals in Gaza as their terrorist operations base, bases.
00:37:57.600
And that's certainly the case at Al-Shifa Hospital.
00:38:00.220
And Israel went in to try to take care of that problem and did so, I think, in the most
00:38:06.580
responsible, judicious way you could ever ask someone to go into enemy headquarters and
00:38:15.860
I mean, it's great that they document everything.
00:38:17.420
I was just thinking, like, what a pain in the ass for Israel because they know everybody's
00:38:23.040
To have to videotape every single thing they do, right?
00:38:26.500
To show you, look at all the machine guns we found underneath the cardiac resuscitation
00:38:35.160
And yet, and yet, Carol, the international media doesn't seem to care.
00:38:40.680
The World Health Organization called the incursion into this hospital totally unacceptable.
00:38:48.760
And then my pal, yeah, except when Hamas makes them so.
00:38:54.040
And then my pal, Alan Dershowitz, he pointed out that Human Rights Watch, which is nothing
00:39:00.700
of the kind, it is not what it sounds like, they're outraged.
00:39:06.140
Their headline on this was unlawful Israeli hospital strikes, worsen health crisis.
00:39:11.800
This was actually on the other hospital nightmare, I think.
00:39:17.860
But in any event, they, of course, paint the Israeli military's behavior terrible.
00:39:22.740
And what they say is, the Israeli military's repeated, apparently unlawful attacks on medical
00:39:27.440
facilities, personnel, and transport are further destroying the Gaza Strip's healthcare system
00:39:35.920
Contrast that with 2017, when it was America battling in Mosul against ISIS.
00:39:45.260
And we had to go in and take out a hospital that ISIS was using as a headquarters.
00:39:50.720
And there, Human Rights Watch could see the, they could see the truth.
00:39:54.320
They said, Islamic State, also known as ISIS fighters, who had occupied a Mosul hospital
00:39:59.160
for two years, put staff and patients at risk of attack.
00:40:04.680
But when it's Jews, it's very hard for Human Rights Watch to see the contrast, Carol.
00:40:10.300
They're really struggling to see who's actually the victim and who's the victor.
00:40:15.560
What's interesting is that it wasn't even, you know, an open secret that Al-Shifa hospital
00:40:21.840
It's been, I didn't even think it was a secret at all.
00:40:24.320
It was something that I think so many people knew.
00:40:29.240
I know quite a lot about it, but I, you know, I leave the expert label to other people.
00:40:33.020
And I had heard about the command center under it.
00:40:35.940
There have been comedians over the years who have made jokes about it.
00:40:38.980
It is not a secret at all that this was going on.
00:40:41.640
And so what I don't get is the conspiracy theories around it.
00:40:46.240
And so why would Israel spend all this time there?
00:40:48.680
Why would they put soldiers on the ground to go inside this hospital
00:40:55.020
if they don't believe that there's a chance that hostages are being held there,
00:40:57.800
if they don't believe that there's a command center,
00:41:02.240
Make your conspiracy theories make sense is all I'm looking for here.
00:41:07.720
And I don't understand the argument that Israel is just what wanted to hurt people
00:41:14.320
They could have, you know, bombed the hospital if that was the case.
00:41:19.000
So the fact that Israel does these really careful incursions where they do document everything
00:41:23.960
is a real testament to the idea of and a real testament to the way that Israel conducts itself.
00:41:29.940
Even Human Rights Watch, which I just mentioned, look, this is all found in the hospital,
00:41:33.140
admitted in 2007 that Hamas had fired at its Palestinian rival from within this hospital.
00:41:40.320
They knew very well, but they've weirdly forgotten it all now that it's Israel on the other side of it.
00:41:46.860
Here's the BBC trying to report on what happened there.
00:41:52.880
At this moment, we are hearing from Reuters that is reporting that Israel,
00:41:56.920
it says its forces are carrying out an operation against Hamas in Gaza's El Shifa hospital.
00:42:03.140
And they are targeting people, including medical teams, as well as Arab speakers.
00:42:08.260
Once again, we are hearing from Reuters that Israel says that its forces are carrying out
00:42:13.200
an operation against Hamas in that hospital that we had just heard of.
00:42:17.820
They are targeting Arab speakers, as well as some of the medical staff there.
00:42:26.620
BBC News, as it covered initial reports that Israeli forces has entered Gaza's main hospital.
00:42:32.820
We said that medical teams and Arab speakers were being targeted.
00:42:37.080
This was incorrect and misquoted a Reuters report.
00:42:40.020
We should have said IDF forces included medical teams and Arabic speakers for this operation.
00:42:52.360
And by the way, they don't make the anchor who said all the false stuff do the apology,
00:42:58.340
It's weird how the errors always go in one direction.
00:43:01.720
There's never, they never, yeah, it's weird how it always happens.
00:43:05.440
But I mean, if Israel, Israel is being continually accused of genocide.
00:43:10.980
If they were interested in genociding, they're actually very bad at it.
00:43:15.140
It would have been a lot easier if they had just bombed the hospital.
00:43:19.260
And instead, they went in and they documented everything they saw.
00:43:23.500
And what I'm seeing from pro-Palestine and progressive journalists is like mocking what
00:43:30.100
they're finding because somehow they didn't find enough guns.
00:43:37.100
As if they didn't have five weeks warning that their headquarters was about to be invaded
00:43:43.720
And so this idea that like, okay, yes, the hospital did have some guns, but not enough
00:43:51.840
Like, how many guns precisely does it take for this to be considered a military base?
00:43:57.520
Apparently, five weeks of notice before they start clearing out all the good stuff absolves
00:44:06.500
And this is, again, like what Carol said, it's not even an open secret.
00:44:09.900
It's just an open thing that is understood within everyone on the ground.
00:44:14.260
People who were working in the NGO world in Gaza understood that ambulances were being
00:44:19.780
used to transport Hamas fighters, that orange vests that are normally worn by paramedics were
00:44:27.360
Like they are using Israeli, they're, I'm sorry, they're using Palestinians as human shields.
00:44:34.980
And one of my favorite clips recently was Al Jazeera was interviewing people in the hospital.
00:44:42.540
I'm going to run it and then I'll give you the floor.
00:44:57.480
As for the resistance, they come and hide among the people.
00:45:03.260
Okay, so for the listening audience, Al Jazeera, well, Bethany, you can explain what just happened,
00:45:13.660
but it's amazing, the propaganda by Al Jazeera.
00:45:17.400
Al Jazeera interviewed that man who was critical of Hamas for hiding among the people.
00:45:26.380
He walked away quickly and tried to find another guest because what he was saying was awfully
00:45:35.500
And then the man, then the Palestinian man kicks the Al Jazeera reporter a couple of times.
00:45:41.340
He's speaking truth and Al Jazeera won't let him.
00:45:44.880
Well, I mean, he's risking his life by doing that.
00:45:47.440
At least let him have the floor for 30 seconds.
00:46:04.280
I think everyone knows to take a Reuters report on anything involving the Mideast with a hefty
00:46:11.280
And they would if it weren't for the fact that they share the same bias.
00:46:14.000
I don't I just don't wait for any of these media outlets to ever be fair to, you know,
00:46:20.540
not just Israel, but to conservatives or anybody who doesn't walk the extremely leftist line.
00:46:28.980
Look what happened that they were New York Times and other outlets were using people who
00:46:33.200
were actually embedded with Hamas on October 7th.
00:46:39.360
And I think that we've gotten to a place where we expect the worst from the media and they
00:46:44.080
And the BBC is just, you know, another example of that.
00:46:46.520
They've always been anti-Israel, the pretty anti-America, the pretty anti anything that
00:46:55.740
It's I mean, it's a pretty big mistake to say that the IDF is in that hospital targeting
00:47:04.000
And then you find out, oh, wait, it actually they just brought people in with them who could
00:47:09.080
translate and help them communicate what they were about to do and move.
00:47:14.820
But no, no, they got that a little bit wrong and then didn't have the balls to put the anchor
00:47:20.400
who made the mistake on camera to apologize for her error, which honestly, these errors
00:47:42.620
So there was a fascinating interview, courtesy and credit to mediaite.com, because I don't
00:47:48.540
watch CNN, but they highlighted it between Vivek Ramaswamy and CNN's IDF.
00:47:54.540
She's a relatively new primetime host named Abby Phillips.
00:48:01.320
And I have to tell you, you know, when Vivek has said weird things, I've been critical
00:48:05.780
I've also been a big promoter of his on his books and so on for a long, long time.
00:48:15.100
He gave it to her and it was kind of a thing of beauty.
00:48:17.920
So on two points, there was one answer that I didn't like as much.
00:48:21.660
But I loved, loved, loved these first two exchanges.
00:48:25.020
This what she did to him so encapsulates what the media does on both fronts.
00:48:32.400
Nikki Haley weirdly went like pro-identity politics in her interview with the fellas from
00:48:42.960
But listen to how Abby Phillips, keep in mind, as you hear this clip, she mentions what Vivek
00:48:51.720
did, Nikki Haley does at the debate when it came to Kristen Welker, the moderator, Ronna
00:49:05.560
Here's what your fellow Republican Nikki Haley said about you earlier today.
00:49:09.820
What happens, he comes out of the gate, he hits the female chair of the party, he hits
00:49:19.720
the female anchor on the platform, and then he hits me.
00:49:33.800
OK, so she's laying out three different women that you've attacked.
00:49:43.840
Dick Cheney, Lindsey Graham, Karl Rove, John Bolton.
00:49:47.220
The real issue is there's an old neocon wing of the Republican Party that I've been crystal
00:49:52.860
Speak the truth, and we have to be willing to hold failure accountable.
00:49:56.360
That's Kristen Welker and her lies that she's told about the Trump Russia.
00:49:58.980
Mr. Ramaswamy, I'm going to stop you right there.
00:50:02.360
There's no reason to bring Kristen Welker into your dispute with Verona McDaniel.
00:50:07.360
You literally paid tape of Nikki Haley talking about Kristen Welker.
00:50:11.360
So I'm responding to the tape that you displayed for your viewers.
00:50:14.280
The question that you were answering was about.
00:50:16.140
So give me a break and stop misleading your viewers.
00:50:20.800
She tried to sandbag him and he got her and she deserved it because that was bullshit.
00:50:27.360
She tried to just play the Nikki Haley tape of he's got a girl problem because he went
00:50:33.320
And then when he tried to say, this is why I went after Kristen Welker.
00:50:36.780
Oh, I will protect my fellow female anchor and shut this down.
00:50:45.380
And just because this Abby Phillips has like a nice voice and like a pleasant demeanor doesn't
00:50:53.320
I was disgusted by what she tried to do to him and I was cheering his shutting down of it.
00:51:03.920
I think he has a very shallow understanding of a lot of the issues and I don't really
00:51:08.220
So it's funny that your fellow Republican Nikki Haley said, but I think he nailed her here.
00:51:14.220
And I think that he was right going after Kristen Welker and going after Rona McDaniels.
00:51:18.840
I think that they're just, you know, those are actually really good targets.
00:51:25.660
The fact that the media continues to push Russiagate is unacceptable.
00:51:32.500
And the thing is, the Abby's comments on CNN here, it really hurts women like us.
00:51:38.220
We can't be in the conversation and then also like, oh, I'm but a girl.
00:51:44.400
And if we're going to sit at the big boys table, then we have to be able to take that,
00:51:49.140
you know, pressure and comments and be able to handle ourselves in a positive way.
00:51:54.340
You don't have to like Vivek to think that it's correct for him to criticize any of these
00:51:59.060
They're on the public stage and they're absolutely fair game.
00:52:03.740
They were even on Fox the day after that debate.
00:52:06.520
They were saying that he was a sexist because of his debate performance.
00:52:17.040
They these are all three public figures who Nikki Haley's running for president.
00:52:23.260
And Kristen Welker is an NBC anchor of Meet the Press, all fair game.
00:52:27.560
And every criticism he raised was not beyond the pale.
00:52:31.060
I mean, the comment on the daughter, I get that that was there's generally a rule.
00:52:34.260
You don't go after people's kids, but that's a grown up.
00:52:37.220
It's a, you know, I understand, but whatever you can like it or not like it.
00:52:40.440
But there's I don't think it's sexist in any way.
00:52:46.920
Yeah, I don't think that he would have gone after a male candidate's parenting in the same way that he went after her parenting.
00:52:54.220
And he said, you know, basically it was it was she was derelict in her role role as a mother.
00:53:00.440
I don't think that a male candidate would have had his kids behave his adult child's behavior.
00:53:06.620
I think he would have gone after Mike Pence in the same way.
00:53:11.780
Like, you don't like this, but your daughter does it.
00:53:14.000
Like, I just I think it hits certain candidates better than others.
00:53:18.280
And Nikki Haley or Mike Pence would have been perfect targets for that kind of attack.
00:53:22.460
Well, the three inch heels was another thing that people thought was sexist.
00:53:26.920
But I didn't think it was it was like that's what she's where she's where actually five inch heels.
00:53:30.140
That's the only thing he's he's basically just trying to say Dick Cheney in a dress.
00:53:35.000
No, he's trying to say, like, you're Dick Cheney, except you look like this.
00:53:38.660
I didn't I have to say I'm fine calling out people's sexist behavior, but did not see it there.
00:53:43.340
And I don't think Nikki Haley should be playing that card.
00:53:46.200
That's it's not it doesn't make it OK just to say it in a cutesy like he's I'm just saying he's got a girl like stick to the issues.
00:53:53.920
I realize these two don't like each other, but just like don't Republicans don't want to see those fights.
00:54:00.080
They do want to see fights with the media and with media that that is just fine with The New York Times hiring a literal Hitler lover.
00:54:08.540
They're fine with that, but they do get upset when Trump uses the word vermin.
00:54:14.260
OK, so that brings me to the next clip of Vivek and this anchor watch.
00:54:23.260
Do you believe that that is, as your Republican colleague Chris Christie has said, neo-Nazi rhetoric?
00:54:38.380
Focus on literally that word without actually interrogating the substance of what's at issue.
00:54:45.200
We are in the middle of a cultural war in this country.
00:54:48.680
It's actually describing a series of behaviors.
00:54:50.800
You have Antifa and other related groups that have been burning down cities for the last three years in this country.
00:54:59.740
We have millions of people crossing our southern border.
00:55:01.680
Let's talk about the substance of why we have to recognize that we're not in ordinary times.
00:55:08.060
The vocabulary of the vermin or not is not what's important.
00:55:12.060
So you can look at my track record on the campaign trail.
00:55:17.220
But what I'm not going to do is play some game of focusing on some word that somebody else said without ignoring entirely the substance of what we're actually talking about.
00:55:27.580
What's running around San Francisco on a given day before Gavin Newsom cleaned it up on a dime to roll out the red carpet for Xi Jinping.
00:55:34.920
If he could do that for Xi Jinping, he could have done it on an ordinary day.
00:55:37.960
Focus on the substance and let's have an actual policy debate rather than talking to a presidential candidate instead of the policy substance of what's actually going on in the country.
00:55:46.900
Picking on some word that Donald Trump said on a certain day and asking me for comment on it.
00:56:06.700
If Donald Trump's sitting there, go ahead and ask him about it till the cows come home.
00:56:11.620
He's he's he's kind of like Trump, but he's not Trump.
00:56:21.000
I haven't used that term, which is as good as you're going to get.
00:56:30.440
I mean, it's it's so frustrating for Americans because we see everything that's happening.
00:56:35.800
The total breakdown of society and a CNN anchor.
00:56:39.380
The desperate question she needs answering from an evasive politician is, would you use
00:56:50.680
What happens is no one around the world is afraid of us anymore and everything is going
00:56:56.820
But yes, let's let's all focus on what's the real issue at hand.
00:57:01.220
The use of the word vermin, which, by the way, like, is not a crazy word to use in some
00:57:09.260
And it is bad to dehumanize people, but sometimes those people dehumanize themselves.
00:57:15.460
But that's I mean, you're not you're not allowed to talk about those things anymore.
00:57:19.200
But this is this is why the trust in mainstream media is so, so far gone.
00:57:24.720
And Carol alluded to it in the end of the last block.
00:57:27.820
But, you know, when we found out that there were photographers who were embedded with Hamas
00:57:33.560
on the day of the attack, there wasn't as much shock and dismay as we should have had.
00:57:39.360
And it's because our expectations for the media are maybe not low enough.
00:57:48.120
I mean, honestly, like you look at some of the behaviors of these people who are migrating
00:57:52.840
into the country illegally with the serial rape of women and young girls.
00:57:57.500
I mean, like rape trees where they're tying up young women and just raping them.
00:58:08.280
She probably doesn't because they don't give a shit that the borders open at CNN.
00:58:11.540
OK, now I'll get to the clip that I didn't like, because I think this is where Vivek
00:58:17.500
like he could be doing much better in the polls if he would just reel back on the know
00:58:25.220
Let me explain it to you because you're too dumb piece of his approach.
00:58:35.120
Once the United States achieves semiconductor independence, do you believe it will be in
00:58:39.640
the United States's national interest to deter China from invading Taiwan?
00:58:49.260
It will not be preferable for China to invade Taiwan even then.
00:58:59.160
Will it be in the United States's national interest to deter China from invading Taiwan?
00:59:03.900
Do you actually know what strategic ambiguity means right now?
00:59:09.800
The current posture is strategic ambiguity right now, and I have a feeling you don't
00:59:16.380
So I'm happy to educate you if you're interested.
00:59:21.920
It's the current status quo, and that's what we will resume after we've achieved semiconductor
00:59:27.600
The status quo will be exactly what it obtains after we've achieved semiconductor independence.
00:59:32.040
And in the meantime, we have to be clear something that no party says that we will defend Taiwan.
00:59:36.540
A simple answer to that question would actually be a yes or no.
00:59:39.080
But I do want to turn now to a different topic, to politics.
00:59:45.420
A simple answer is, geopolitics are a little more complicated than you're making out to
00:59:49.000
So I'm happy to explain it to you if you're interested.
00:59:55.580
I'm happy to explain it to you if you're interested.
00:59:57.660
If you would like me to educate you, it's annoying.
01:00:01.500
He's already up against the—you're the know-it-all at the front of the class who's
01:00:06.560
You know that you got your hand up on every question.
01:00:10.760
Everyone wanted that kid to get punched out at the playground.
01:00:18.180
Do what you did in the other two clips, but stop.
01:00:24.220
It's about just the know-it-all, smug, condescending nature.
01:00:28.640
Even though we don't like media, that one didn't work for me.
01:00:36.640
But maybe because, again, I think of him as that guy.
01:00:39.680
I think of him as the guy who's like, I have the explanation that you're looking for, and
01:00:47.640
Again, I find him to be this know-it-all guy who has no business at all running for president.
01:00:54.440
I thought he was interesting before he ran for president.
01:00:59.080
I don't know that any of that makes him in a position to lead the free world.
01:01:04.080
And him running as this, like, Trump surrogate has been just, I don't get it.
01:01:09.220
And I find him just overall to be this guy that, you know, argued with Abby.
01:01:13.480
I would love to hear him say, like, you know, to the question of, would you use vermin?
01:01:18.880
Well, would you work at a network that had, you know, rehired a guy who had masturbated
01:01:28.620
So, you know, I'm okay with attacking the media.
01:01:32.100
I just find him to be not that great at it overall because he comes off as pretty slimy.
01:01:54.900
And up next, very happy to be joined by Keri Prejean Bowler.
01:02:05.500

01:02:58.140
To find News Nation on your TV, go to joinnn.com.
01:03:06.620
We've been covering a lot of serious topics this week, but I've been dying to get to some
01:03:12.720
The world of sports, including Megan Rapinoe's career coming to a glorious end.
01:03:16.760
And we have an abundance of stories involving biological men taking over women's spaces in
01:03:21.600
sports, among them this weekend's Big Miss Universe pageant, where a record two trans people
01:03:28.560
are going to be competing for the title of the world's most beautiful woman.
01:03:36.780
Carrie Prejean Bowler is a former Miss California 2009, a mom and a community activist.
01:03:52.700
I think one's from Portugal, and I can't remember where the other, oh, the other one
01:04:01.560
This has been a possibility since 2012 for the world's basically most beautiful woman.
01:04:06.160
It's gotten to the point where they're actually competing to be the most beautiful among us,
01:04:18.140
You know, when I competed at Miss USA, we had to sign a contract saying that we were
01:04:23.000
And I remember all the ladies getting together and being like, this is so ridiculous.
01:04:28.560
And now fast forward to 2023, you're seeing men wearing woman face competing in Miss Universe.
01:04:34.920
But I'm not surprised because the owner of Miss Universe is a man wearing woman face and
01:04:40.580
pretending to be a woman masquerading as a woman.
01:04:44.100
And I'm not surprised that they just filed bankruptcy.
01:04:47.140
So I don't think anybody's going to be tuning in this weekend to Miss Universe.
01:04:55.480
And honestly, even if they managed to fool you, there's something disturbing about that
01:05:07.200
I guess we're going to have to call out man face now because Kim Kardashian is one of the
01:05:11.780
men of the year on the GQ cover, on the GQ cover as man of the year.
01:05:19.000
Because she apparently is expanding her, you know, compression garment scheme.
01:05:30.020
And she's sucking her thumb because she's just eating Cheetos.
01:05:38.420
You're supposed to look like, you know, you've been, I don't know, dumped in the pool before
01:05:43.880
And I, you know, if we're going to call it out for one side, she's not pretending to be
01:05:47.300
trans, but this like they couldn't find a man to be GQ's man of the year.
01:05:51.140
Yeah, there are no longer sacred spaces for men and women.
01:05:58.300
We're seeing women masquerading on GQ as winning man of the year.
01:06:04.260
And I find that that photo to be very actually quite sexist, because if you look at her,
01:06:10.500
you know, she's sucking her thumb in a very sexual way.
01:06:13.580
And in reality, it's like, where are the feminists?
01:06:22.260
And so, you know, any man that looks at that is seeing it as very sexual.
01:06:28.380
You know, they thought they were doing something amazing, having a woman on, you know, GQ as
01:06:33.440
But in reality, it only, you know, makes the patriarchy win.
01:06:39.260
And it's like, does she need to be on all these magazine covers?
01:06:48.140
She's trying to change your daughters and mine into self-obsessed, selfie-taking, take
01:06:55.180
like enormously manufactured all over their body and the denying it type girls, right?
01:07:04.360
And she said it to the one sister on one of the episodes.
01:07:08.620
You're the least interesting looking of all of us as if this were some sort of a sin.
01:07:13.100
Yeah, I think she's destroyed an entire generation of young women.
01:07:17.960
You know, I have a lot of friends who have girls that are in high school.
01:07:24.080
But they have told me that their daughters worshipped the Kardashians, that every day,
01:07:30.040
day in and day out, they were just, you know, flooded with their pictures on social media and
01:07:35.160
and this obsession with body image and, you know, having a little waist and a big butt,
01:07:43.180
And so I think that the Kardashians have destroyed an entire generation of women.
01:07:47.000
And here we are now as conservative women trying to regain, you know, be role models for these
01:07:54.060
young girls because they really have nobody to look up to.
01:07:58.440
The Kardashians have taken over the entire, you know, fashion industry, makeup industry.
01:08:09.080
And they're a terrible example to our young girls, Megan.
01:08:17.100
And they send a very bad message to our daughters.
01:08:24.160
So it's like, I don't know if they, these are the girls who do surrogates.
01:08:29.760
I know Kim Kardashian has given birth to at least some of her own children.
01:08:32.660
And let me tell you, as somebody who's had three kids, you don't have the waist that's
01:08:37.180
like that, like Vivian Lay on Gone with the Wind after you've had three babies.
01:08:42.280
It's not a normal thing, but she doesn't admit to any of it, right?
01:08:51.360
You had that stuff surgically removed and put in your ass.
01:08:55.200
It's obvious to all of us, but it's not clear to our little girls who look at it and think,
01:08:59.900
gee, I guess there's a different beauty standard.
01:09:01.600
Even though you and I, as moms are counter-programming against that kind of mind melding, you know,
01:09:07.860
a lot of kids are getting it and thinking that this is something they have to live up to.
01:09:11.640
So on this subject of people we don't like, yeah, Megan Rapinoe, back in the news, once again,
01:09:21.700
So I thought we just covered her last big soccer match, but I guess that was just the World Cup.
01:09:28.120
Now she played in like the real, real last one.
01:09:30.720
And I guess within the first couple of minutes of the game, she tore her Achilles.
01:09:35.620
And instead of saying, gee, I'm sorry that I couldn't play, I'm sure my team was let down.
01:09:43.740
She decided to blame the God in whom she does not exist.
01:09:53.360
I mean, you know, I'm not a religious person or anything.
01:09:56.440
And if there wasn't God, like, this is proof that there isn't.
01:10:05.720
You guys, like, six minutes in, f***ing eat my Achilles.
01:10:12.420
It's proof that there's no God that she had an Achilles injury.
01:10:18.660
She obviously doesn't know God, but wants to blame God.
01:10:23.760
I would suggest, hey, Megan, if you're listening, why don't you, while you're healing from your Achilles tendon, why don't you open your Bible?
01:10:30.680
Why don't you pray to the God that you don't believe in, that you're blaming for your injury?
01:10:35.180
I think that there's, that that is proof that there is a God.
01:10:40.480
He brought you to your knees when nobody else was around you.
01:10:43.440
So maybe while you're resting, you open your Bible and you repent.
01:10:48.660
Because you're a horrible human being, Megan Rapinoe.
01:10:54.160
And listen, at a minimum, how disrespectful to the millions of fans that she does have, who are believers.
01:11:03.760
But this is proof, if he does exist, that he doesn't.
01:11:09.460
She has no respect for the country, for her fans, for American soccer.
01:11:19.260
As we're on the subject of her, though, as you know, one of her parting swan songs was to question whether there really are boys and men in women's sport giving themselves an unfair advantage and taking titles that belong to girls and women.
01:11:37.880
And, of course, every time we have you on, there's another slew of stories proving that it's real.
01:11:43.600
And if she would like to do something good for the world, she would speak out about it like Martina Navarrola has.
01:11:48.980
I don't like Martina's politics, but I love that she's finally found her way to the right place on this.
01:11:56.300
Then she got browbeaten and she reeled it all back.
01:12:11.480
And he just, the headline is, Boy Dominates Girls High School Conference in California, where you are.
01:12:17.840
He just finished first in a field of 55 girls at the Coastal Mountain Conference Championships in Santa Rosa, California, this month.
01:12:29.420
Freshman Josie Hill was cheated, reading from Icons Women, was cheated out of her conference title.
01:12:36.840
So this boy not only won, but dominated everyone.
01:12:41.180
And a freshman girl, who apparently is a sensation, would have had the title, would have made national news because she's a freshman.
01:12:49.400
But no, instead, he's making all the news because he stole her spot and the feeling of being first.
01:13:04.820
And if I had to compete against a boy, I mean, to think about our daughters now, that they are losing out on their trophies, on their awards, on their scholarships.
01:13:18.200
And I have a son who's very athletic, and he could take on my daughter any day of the week in any sport and dominate her just because he's a boy.
01:13:26.560
We have to agree that men have a biological, scientific, you know, advantage over young girls.
01:13:36.980
And we're seeing that the last place boy that competes against the top five girls will dominate them.
01:13:45.100
And the feminists are completely silent in this.
01:13:47.980
You know, I spend a lot of time coaching my daughter's sports, softball, basketball, tennis.
01:13:52.900
And it's so sad to me to think, we might as well just hang up our cleats now, Megan.
01:13:57.420
We might as well just stop wasting our time because one day, hopefully not, you know, my daughter's going to lose her scholarship to some dude that's just claiming he's a woman because he knows that he can't make it in the men's division.
01:14:11.720
I want more women to stand up and take a knee and say, I will not compete against the boys and fight back against this.
01:14:22.900
And I'll get to that one second, but just a little bit more on Athena.
01:14:26.200
To your point, he had been running on the boys team for Sonoma Academy through 2021.
01:14:37.240
Back in this past May, he won second place in the Varsity Girls 1600 meter finals of the CIF North Coast section meet of champions.
01:14:46.100
And was so thrilled at how well he did when running against girls.
01:14:51.620
He bragged about how much time he'd cut off of his run.
01:14:56.420
I've dropped like 17 seconds on my season best in the past two weeks.
01:15:01.240
So after last weekend, I didn't think I could run low fives again.
01:15:04.940
I would just come here and try to break five and I'm just glad I finished it out.
01:15:23.560
I don't think about it until I can pull it out.
01:15:33.860
No woman could shave 17 seconds off of her time in two weeks.
01:15:37.360
It doesn't even occur to him or the interviewer to point out that's because you're a boy.
01:15:41.920
With the respect, sir, it's because you're a boy.
01:15:48.380
And yet the parents out there, Carrie, they don't want to say anything.
01:16:07.920
Um, but there's like a fierce competition in billiards, uh, in pool and you can make money
01:16:16.060
And recently the, a female pool player refused to continue the game.
01:16:23.520
And actually her family has spoken out about this too, saying this is actually a very big
01:16:27.520
It was like a lifelong dream of hers to make it to the finals and in pool.
01:16:30.580
And the women play against the women, you know, like any sport, there are minor differences
01:16:34.200
that may change the way a male performs and a woman performs.
01:16:37.640
And, um, so you'll see here at the beginning, you're going to see her walk over to the ref
01:16:47.360
So her name is Lynn Pinches and the trans person she refused to play against was Harriet Haynes.
01:16:55.640
Um, they hit balls to determine who would go first.
01:16:59.180
They shook hands and then Pinches went over to the ref to let him know she would be forfeiting.
01:17:05.740
This is for a Fox news and, and Alcook kick and daily mail reporting.
01:17:09.520
It happened over in Wales, UK, um, Haynes, the trans person can be seen putting their
01:17:16.680
And then later shaking his head and putting his finger to his head, like a gun.
01:17:23.540
Haynes was presented with the trophy after being declared the winner of the ladies tournament
01:17:29.200
of the English pool associations, uh, on, on their official website.
01:17:34.580
And again, now Pinches family is saying they're very proud of her.
01:17:41.280
Like I completely agree with what she did because it took a lot of courage.
01:17:45.200
This is, uh, the trans person is on the right and, uh, Pinches is on the left.
01:17:50.820
Um, and her son also praised her saying, look, she here, this is Pinches right here.
01:17:58.440
Um, and that's look, this would have been so much meant so much to her for her to actually
01:18:05.040
Whatever way you want to look at it would not have been easy for her to do.
01:18:13.700
And so many of our eyes, um, who would have thought that it took a billiards player, a
01:18:23.500
Um, we see it every day in girls, soccer, basketball, baseball, you know, softball.
01:18:28.600
Um, just the other day I went to, I was coaching my daughter in softball and I see this boy and
01:18:35.060
Thank God he wasn't competing against my team because none of our girls would have played.
01:18:39.220
I would have taken a knee immediately, but I thought, wow, how palsy.
01:18:43.700
To be competing in mice and my daughter's sport.
01:18:55.500
And I want to commend her for that because more women need to start doing what Lynn did.
01:19:01.420
Well, and so now there's another story on this front from Canada where a female boxer withdrew
01:19:08.120
from the competition after being matched against a male fighter.
01:19:15.680
I'm sure somebody could explain to me that there are sex differences that affect the game
01:19:22.520
This is the female who was like, no, I'm not doing this.
01:19:29.500
But that he was outed as a man posing as a woman trying to fight the women.
01:19:35.060
Uh, this interview happened a couple of weeks ago.
01:19:40.700
My opponent made the decision to withdraw from the tournament based solely on a text message
01:19:48.560
Uh, and rather than asking me or my coach or even boxing for Beth for any further information,
01:19:55.260
uh, she went directly to the media and out of me publicly.
01:19:58.820
Best way to ensure fair competition is not going to be to tighten regulation or require
01:20:05.420
arbitrary and invasive testing, but to trust coaches and athletes to select the most gender
01:20:14.460
Actions like these put athletes of all kinds of risks of exclusion and personal attack based
01:20:20.640
something is saying, Oh my God, he's very upset.
01:20:25.320
He's not going to be allowed to punch the women.
01:20:31.140
And I want to say thank you for exposing this stuff because you don't hear this stuff
01:20:37.240
They don't want people knowing about this stuff.
01:20:38.820
So thank you for bringing it to our attention, but someone is going to get hurt and it's going
01:20:51.860
You just saw it the other day with, um, I think it was lacrosse where that girl got,
01:20:55.820
I think her, her teeth, not field hockey, field hockey.
01:21:01.700
Is some girl going to have to die before we say absolutely not no more.
01:21:10.720
I mean, the nerve of this guy to be playing the it's dangerous to me to have been outed by
01:21:17.940
her, you stay in your own lane and you'll be fine.
01:21:22.240
No one's going to be outing anything about you.
01:21:25.040
If you just damn well boxes, the man you are, you want to come over as a woman, her calling
01:21:42.260
They know that he knows that he would get, he would get demolished competing against men.
01:21:55.440
Why, why aren't women marching in the streets over this, Megan?
01:22:06.240
We will no longer have, no longer have our safe spaces in sports and in, in anything.
01:22:16.720
I mean, the one thing he said that I agree with is, Hey, the league allowed it, you know,
01:22:22.860
That's a problem that that should not have happened.
01:22:25.480
And they were setting this poor girl up to get beaten to within an inch of her life.
01:22:32.960
I'm sure it was on principle and out of safety, but you know, we, we covered the story a couple
01:22:37.360
of weeks ago, we're up in Canada where they're absolutely losing their minds on this issue.
01:22:43.140
Carrie, they allowed a 50 year old man to compete against 13 year old girls and 12 year
01:22:52.360
So do I in the swim meet, a 50 year old man who declared that he was a teenage girl.
01:23:04.240
Megan, if you can just identify as whatever the hell you want, maybe my, you know, a retired
01:23:10.880
NFL playing husband should just say he identifies as a 10 year old and go compete in my, my son's
01:23:27.260
You know, it kind of reminds me of my, my, my brother-in-law told this, this story.
01:23:35.980
It's got more than its fair share of odd people.
01:23:38.400
And he was in a Starbucks and somebody came in with their dog and there was a woman in
01:23:45.120
the Starbucks who was like, oh, can I say hi to your dog?
01:23:49.480
And the woman got, she allowed the dog to smell her butt.
01:23:56.820
And then she pretended to smell the dog's rear quarters.
01:24:00.380
No, people are insane, but you know, that's a trend.
01:24:14.380
You sniff their butts in the Starbucks, I guess, to be inclusive.
01:24:22.240
We have absolutely lost our minds and there is no more objective truth.
01:24:38.240
And that is the message that I want your viewers to hear.
01:24:43.120
What are you going to do about it in your own little spaces, in your own little communities?
01:24:47.420
Are you going to show up at the school board meeting and fight to have women's spaces sacred?
01:25:01.600
You've got kids showing up to school with their freaking, you know, tails and their little cat ears having kitty litter boxes.
01:25:11.640
Like, okay, I want to talk to you about the feminists because they're nowhere to be found.
01:25:17.380
And including, honestly, on this whole Mitty's conflict.
01:25:29.820
But there was a report, eyewitness report by multiple people, including verified by Israeli officials, of one woman who was raped repeatedly by these Hamas terrorists and then shot in the head.
01:25:45.080
They cut off her breast and threw it around, like played like a football with it.
01:25:51.200
And you don't have the feminist groups over here.
01:25:55.940
They don't, they have no mental clarity on it, no moral clarity on it whatsoever.
01:26:00.820
They praise Hamas and these assholes we talked about at the top of the show, praising Bin Laden as though these are some, some sort of a group that we have anything in common with.
01:26:15.560
Do they have any idea how many wives Bin Laden had?
01:26:20.340
What they're, oh, they're alleged equal rights, right?
01:26:29.900
I don't, I don't even know if the feminists exist any longer.
01:26:34.100
All the women who showed up in Washington, D.C., you know, with their, with their little hats that thought they were so cool, you know, standing up for women.
01:26:46.560
You know, scholarships are being taken away from women.
01:27:02.360
They wanted us so equal, so equal that there are no longer differences.
01:27:14.680
One of the, one of the women who organized those marches, the March for Women's Lives with the pink hats, is a rabid anti-Semite.
01:27:32.460
And it came out shortly before the Women's March that she was this rabid anti-Semite.
01:27:37.400
These women still showed up as though they had common cause with her.
01:27:40.400
And here she is the other day talking about these lunatics pulling down the hostage posters, which she had some advice for the people doing it.
01:27:51.740
And one thing that I will remind all of you good people that are out here, that there are tobacco tours all across the sea.
01:28:00.160
And what they're waiting for you to do is to waste your energy ripping down their little posters so they can record you and try to get you fired from a job.
01:28:14.420
You are not going to be hoodwinked by opposition and provocateurs to do some stupid shit that's going to get you in trouble and it ain't even helping the people of God.
01:28:24.880
When you go home tonight, they have their little people all around the city.
01:28:44.660
So stay focused and do not be distracted by the opposition.
01:28:52.780
But don't do it because these annoying little people are going to get you fired and we can't deal with that.
01:28:59.780
This is the woman who organized the Women's March.
01:29:02.140
These are the feminists who we're waiting for to swoop in.
01:29:06.000
What does she have to say about the woman whose breasts were cut off and then handed around to all the men?
01:29:13.260
Yeah, she's busy pulling the posters down of women just like her who are probably undergoing similar acts on a daily basis.
01:29:23.600
All right, let's let's end on a frivolous note because the conversation is so dark and it's awful, but it's important.
01:29:30.320
But we've got to talk about Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos.
01:29:34.760
Did you see the glossy Vogue spread on this pair?
01:29:42.920
It was I love it when people like just kind of cut right to the chase and reaction to this stuff.
01:29:47.340
And somebody was like, read the room, like like given what's happening right now in the nation, read the room on what's appropriate.
01:29:55.180
Vogue and Lauren and Scott Jeff, I mean, so they're they're pictured all over like he built some I don't know.
01:30:05.380
It's like some on a giant diamond cut underground clock.
01:30:10.380
She's in her like gown down in this giant underground.
01:30:28.660
And as Maureen Callahan brilliantly puts it in the Daily Mail, this isn't just a fawning profile of Sanchez and fiance Jeff Bezos.
01:30:35.840
It's slobbering, noncritical and as superficial as their mnemonic physiques, pneumatic, pneumatic physiques.
01:30:45.100
Callahan notes that the writer, who's actually the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and the late French film director Louis Molley,
01:30:51.800
takes a cattily elegant dig at Sanchez's somewhat gauche aesthetic.
01:31:03.700
A reminder that not every wealthy woman needs swaddle herself in the row.
01:31:07.960
Maureen says that's some prime bitchery right there.
01:31:10.380
It goes on and on about this woman who, let's face it, this relationship began in an extramarital affair.
01:31:18.900
But now they're getting the vogue treatment to where we're supposed to believe it's the grand love affair.
01:31:23.060
And they point out about how out on the yacht, she's wearing her crop top, partying with Leonardo DiCaprio and Prince or Queen Rania of Jordan.
01:31:34.320
And when questioned about how this isn't very green of them to have the yacht everywhere and the private jets,
01:31:42.100
Sanchez is undaunted about her own carbon footprint.
01:31:47.160
I think Jeff and I are really focusing on the long-term commitment to climate.
01:31:56.940
She says they also use green aviation fuel, Carrie, whenever possible,
01:32:01.780
and that their yacht can sail using only wind power.
01:32:17.280
I mean, how tone-deaf can they be with everything going on in the world?
01:32:27.880
I don't even want to give them two minutes of my time.
01:32:31.220
And that photo of them, oh, she looks like his daughter.
01:32:39.040
Like, he is some sort of, like, I don't know, alpha male.
01:32:46.140
Bezos emerging from the water like a Mediterranean he-man in palm print swing trunks.
01:33:02.620
This guy, just a couple of years ago, was like this dweeby little book salesman starting Amazon.
01:33:08.320
I think we've got, look, look, look, look, look.
01:33:13.560
Now, because he has, he's the third richest man in the world, this woman who was a news anchor has decided to leave her husband, who was, he's like the head of Endeavor, Ari Emanuel's, like, co-whatever agent business, and marry him.
01:33:35.300
Much has been made of his evolution from round-shouldered online bookseller to a Tony Stark titan of industry and the third richest man in the world.
01:33:45.940
Now, she says, once insular and press shy, he formed a tight cocoon around Amazon and his then wife, Mackenzie, and their four children in Seattle.
01:33:55.020
Now, it's as if he's emerged from his chrysalis, a swole monarch, swole, which I actually had to look up.
01:34:04.940
A swole monarch, no longer Amazon CEO, but an empty nester who's venturing not only into the Adriatic, but into outer space.
01:34:19.080
I mean, it's just stomach turning is what it is.
01:34:23.320
I mean, we're celebrating a man who cheated on his wife and he has four kids, right?
01:34:28.700
I mean, and then she cheated on her husband with this guy.
01:34:31.620
I mean, it's so gross and it's, I give it, how many years do you give it?
01:34:37.500
It's not going to make, it's not going to make the seven-year mark.
01:34:44.060
So imagine if you're Jeff Bezos and you're cheating on your wife or you're thinking about cheating on your wife.
01:34:48.060
Do you really think that anybody's looking at you because you're, you're good looking and you're great and they really want to hang around?
01:34:56.880
And let me give you a little warning, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
01:35:06.180
How you get a man is how you're going to lose them.
01:35:11.800
Enjoy your billions of dollars while you can on your green energy yacht.
01:35:30.360
As always, love your candor and your fearlessness.
01:35:36.720
So I want to tell you something, a special programming note about tomorrow.
01:35:40.580
We're excited to have Dave Rubin, and there's plenty to go over with him.
01:35:44.080
I don't know if you saw this Gayle King soundbite on CBS this morning.
01:35:48.020
We're going to go over it, among other things, with Dave.
01:35:50.340
But special guest back on the show tomorrow to respond to these young people becoming sympathetic
01:35:56.340
to Osama bin Laden, the guy who put a bullet between bin Laden's eyes.
01:36:05.700
Make sure you download the show and check us out.
