The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1681 - FIRED： Star Wars Will No Longer Be Lame and Gay

00:00:00.000 President Trump has officially gutted what little power remained of the legacy journalists who

00:00:05.420 parade around the White House. That is great news in itself. But the cherry on top of the

00:00:10.540 Sunday is that, in this case, the media are so incompetent that they actually destroyed

00:00:17.300 their undeserved power themselves. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down at Lucasfilm. The woman who 0.81

00:02:35.440 that Trump didn't want it in the Oval Office or on Air Force One anymore. So the Associated Press,

00:02:41.720 one of the furthest left, least connected to reality, most annoying fake news outlets in the

00:02:49.480 world. A news outlet that so perverts language and so powerfully perverts language that it actually

00:02:56.420 forces other journalists who don't even necessarily work for the AP to follow its silly rules,

00:03:01.100 calling men, women, calling foreigners, Americans, and so on. They were really irritated that President

00:03:07.440 Trump didn't invite them to every special super secret gathering of journalists. So they decided

00:03:11.960 to sue the Trump White House. And a judge came out and said, look, you want an emergency stop

00:03:18.360 on President Trump's ban of the Associated Press from a few different places. But I see no reason

00:03:23.840 to do that. You, the Associated Press, have no right to be in the Oval Office whenever you want.

00:03:29.540 You have no right to be on Air Force One whenever you want. Where are you talking? Where does that come

00:03:33.180 from? And that led the Trump White House to say, hold on, you're right. They don't have any right.

00:03:39.360 For too long, the liberal journalists have declared some sort of right to determine who

00:03:45.300 is in the press room, who gets access to the president. But they really don't have any right

00:03:48.780 to that. We have right to that. We're the White House. We're the ones who determine which journalists

00:03:52.620 we meet with. So actually, you know what? Forget about the White House Correspondents Association.

00:03:56.940 From now on, the White House press office is determining who gets in and who does not.

00:04:02.520 Caroline Levitt, press secretary to the Trump, to the Trump, to the president. Take it away. 0.97

00:04:08.060 As you all know, for decades, a group of D.C.-based journalists, the White House Correspondents

00:04:13.400 Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United

00:04:19.000 States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore. I am proud to announce that we are going to give the

00:04:26.740 power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows, and who listen

00:04:31.740 to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White

00:04:37.340 House press team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be

00:04:43.420 allowed to join. Fear not. But we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets

00:04:49.580 who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility. Just like we added a new media

00:04:56.060 seat in this briefing room, legacy media outlets who have been here for years will still participate

00:05:01.240 in the pool. But new voices are going to be welcomed in as well. When President Trump was in the midst of

00:05:09.200 his transition, I said, this is an opportunity not only to reset the relationship between the citizen and the

00:05:15.300 state, but to reset the relationship between the citizen and the press. The media, which are supposed to be

00:05:22.060 the go-betweens between the people and the government, I said, right now they don't have much audience,

00:05:29.640 they've lost a lot of their influence, and they've exposed themselves as being deeply dishonest.

00:05:35.280 So on neither count do they fulfill their obligations. The whole point of the White House press

00:05:40.440 core, the whole point of the media is to accurately report the news so they can actually convey what's

00:05:49.280 going on in the White House to the people, and to ask the questions that the American people care

00:05:56.260 about, to accurately reflect what the American people want, but the American people don't want

00:06:01.720 what the legacy media are offering. That's why they're tuning them out. That's why even outlets

00:06:04.800 like the New York Times and Washington Post admitted that this past election was the podcast election.

00:06:09.120 The independent media election. People are tuning out the old establishment media.

00:06:14.120 So I said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They're down. You got to kick them while they're

00:06:18.960 down. You kick them while they're down, not just to be cruel or unjust or something like that. 0.99

00:06:23.460 You kick them while they're down because they are corrupt. They have taken too much power, 0.99

00:06:28.220 and part of what the people voted for in November is booting these kind of corrupt people

00:06:33.480 out of the room. Love that she's doing that. Great, great stuff from the White House press secretary.

00:06:39.120 Caroline Leavitt. And this was elevated even a little bit higher. This was not just a decision

00:06:44.900 made by a communications staffer. President Trump addressed this himself from the Oval Office.

00:06:51.080 And also on Air Force One, it's really, it's trending on X. People are talking about it.

00:06:57.280 Well, we're going to be now calling those shots. As you know, we won that lawsuit right there. See the

00:07:03.500 Gulf of America, which is a beautiful name. Most people agree. I don't know. It's, you know, AP has

00:07:08.620 been terrible. I think they're radical left. I think they're third-rate reporters. I know the

00:07:13.600 specific young lady that works on the account is terrible. She's a radical left lunatic, as far as 1.00

00:07:21.420 I'm concerned. They don't treat us fairly. That's number one. And number two, they had no right to 0.99

00:07:26.520 do that. This is the Gulf of America. And if you look at that shoreline, look at that shoreline.

00:07:32.640 Look, from Florida, well, most of it is, it's called America. And a vast majority, like,

00:07:41.560 big numbers. So I'm just admiring it as I look at it. I'm getting teary-eyed.

00:07:50.240 I'm getting teary-eyed. It's so beautiful, the Gulf of America.

00:07:54.440 He says, we're calling the shots now. We're calling the shots. The American people elected

00:07:59.520 us. The majority of Americans, voters, elected us. They gave us a unified government. They don't

00:08:06.640 want you anymore. They don't want the liberal media. They don't want the Democrats. They don't

00:08:11.480 want the careerist bureaucrats who are going to undermine the elected people. We're calling the

00:08:16.640 shots. He goes, and it's all because of the AP. And as President Trump points out here, it even

00:08:23.520 predates the lawsuit. Because you got to ask yourself, well, hold on, why did the AP get kicked

00:08:29.560 out of the Oval Office and Air Force One? Oh, it's because the AP refused to refer to the Gulf of

00:08:34.760 America as the Gulf of America. The AP manipulates language. They try to control the political order

00:08:39.220 by controlling how all the journalists write. They control how all the journalists write by

00:08:43.840 trying to insist on left-wing euphemisms. You call foreigners Americans. You call men women.

00:08:48.900 You capitalize the B in black people. You lowercase the W in white people, as if to say black people are 0.97

00:08:57.080 better than white people. Really nasty stuff in there. And the AP, they said, we will not, 0.99

00:09:02.180 we will not follow this executive order and refer to the Gulf of America as the Gulf of America.

00:09:08.720 Trump points out, he says, look, the coastline. Look, it's mostly an American coastline.

00:09:14.060 It's the Gulf of America. No, we will not do it. Okay. Well, you just, you pushed it a little too

00:09:20.000 far, AP. And now the White House Correspondents Association has no power. The White House is calling

00:09:26.180 the shots. And the relationship between the people and the media and the government has been reset.

00:09:31.600 Thank you. Thank you, AP. I'm actually grateful to you. Now, speaking of booting people out of

00:09:36.600 places, Democrat Representative Pramila Jayapal is furious that President Trump is booting illegal

00:09:44.260 aliens out of America. Pramila Jayapal says this is an attack, not only on the rights of people,

00:09:50.500 it's an attack on our economy. Because, and you've heard this line before,

00:09:55.300 if we kick out the illegal aliens, who's going to pick our grapes? 1.00

00:10:01.180 We can't let them continue their lies and their distractions. We can't let them deport the millions

00:10:06.960 of families across this country who have been doing the work that keeps our economy going every day.

00:10:13.620 We can't let them scapegoat and criminalize immigrants who contribute, who are our neighbors,

00:10:19.660 our friends, our churchgoers, our community around us that we deeply love. Immigrants are us.

00:10:28.680 Immigrants are us. And we all deserve respect and dignity. If you look at the food that's on your

00:10:34.480 table, think about who picked it. If you look at your homes, think about who built them. If you look at

00:10:41.080 your vulnerable elders and your kids, think about who's taking care of them.

00:10:45.840 I don't think illegal aliens are doing any of that for me. Maybe some of my food, although I don't 1.00

00:10:50.520 know, I got my eggs from my buddy and colleague over here. I actually, so the argument, as far as

00:10:57.140 I can tell, the argument from this sitting Democrat representative is that we need a surf class of

00:11:03.280 people who are paid off the books and under the minimum wage in order to pick our food and clean

00:11:12.400 our toilets, which is an argument you hear from the establishment chamber of commerce Republican class

00:11:17.580 and increasingly you hear it from Democrats. We need it. We need a slave class that does not really 0.98

00:11:23.100 have a lot of political rights in order to give us cheap labor so that we don't need to clean our own

00:11:28.000 toilets or go out and pick the grapes and the cotton. Okay. So fine. What is the broad thesis 0.75

00:11:35.680 from those claims? The broad thesis is putting human rights and dignity and all the rest of it aside

00:11:42.680 that illegal aliens are good for the economy. And that just isn't true. Senator Eric Schmidt had a

00:11:50.060 great point on this. He says, they aren't coming here to contribute to our economy. They are illegally 0.56

00:11:54.620 coming here to take from it. And Senator Schmidt has some great charts that he's posted. Here's one

00:12:01.940 welfare use based on legal status of the household. And you can see between U.S. born legal immigrant

00:12:11.380 and illegal immigrant, you see any welfare, people taking any welfare, 39% U.S. born, 52% legal immigrant.

00:12:22.000 That's bad. That actually gets to my point, which is that for my whole life, practically,

00:12:27.280 we've been given two options on immigration. The left says we need more illegal immigration. The

00:12:32.720 right says we need more legal immigration. But actually, if you look at opinion polls,

00:12:36.960 Gallup, Harvard, Harris, most Americans believe we need less immigration overall. And actually,

00:12:42.540 when you get down into numbers, most Americans believe we need drastically less immigration,

00:12:46.620 legal and illegal. And maybe that's one of the reasons why. 52% legal immigrant households on 0.96

00:12:53.340 welfare. 59% illegal immigrants. So by far, the illegal immigrants are most likely to make use of 0.75

00:13:02.420 welfare. Then you get into what specific kinds of welfare. Cash. It actually flips. The lowest is

00:13:10.280 still U.S. born. But then the legal immigrants are the most likely, followed by the illegal immigrants. 0.93

00:13:15.300 Then you go to food. By far, the least likely U.S. born. Then legal immigrants. Then illegal immigrants. 0.99

00:13:21.120 Medicaid. By far, the lowest U.S. born. Then legal immigrants. Then illegal immigrants. 0.94

00:13:26.400 Kind of levels out on housing. But there you have it. It's a drain on the economy.

00:13:32.820 The Federation for American Immigration Reform, FAIR, estimates that the net annual cost to America

00:13:39.560 of illegal immigration is $150.7 billion annually. That's net. So that's taking out. Illegal immigrants 1.00

00:13:47.580 do contribute something to the economy, but they take stuff out of the economy too. The net is they

00:13:52.860 take $150.7 billion. Nate Hockman pointed out on X yesterday that deporting 10 million illegal aliens

00:14:00.160 would reduce the national debt by more than $1.3 trillion, which means, as he pointed out quite

00:14:06.340 rightly, mass deportations are a fiscally conservative policy. You've heard the libs try

00:14:12.760 to argue from human dignity and human rights, and the conservatives can easily knock that down. We can

00:14:17.060 say, look, Fusion and Amnesty International point out that 68% of women and girls who cross that border

00:14:21.880 illegally are raped or otherwise sexually assaulted on the journey. You think that's good for their 1.00

00:14:26.400 dignity? You think that's good for their rights? You have to interact with criminal cartels, many of

00:14:32.480 them have face tattoos and worship Satan in order to cross that border illegally. You think that's

00:14:36.180 good for human rights and dignity? Countries have basic laws. When you violate really basic laws,

00:14:41.820 you think that's good even for your dignity, and you think you have a right to that, to violate the

00:14:45.840 basic laws of a country? Ridiculous. Get that out of it. Those arguments are stupid. So then the 0.99

00:14:50.000 libs say, well, no, no, but it's just good for the economy. It's not good for the economy. It is a

00:14:54.160 massive drain on the economy. What's the argument for it? Here, I'll tell you the argument for it.

00:14:59.680 The argument for it is Democrats get unlimited votes. That's at least their view, and they have

00:15:06.480 good reason to think that. Democrats get unlimited votes, and Democrats and Chamber of Commerce

00:15:12.720 Republicans get a slave class to pick the grapes and clean the toilets. That's the argument. No human 1.00

00:15:17.040 dignity factors into that. No human rights factor into that. And overall to the country, no economic

00:15:22.540 benefit factors into that. There's so much more to say. First, though, go to livegood.com slash

00:15:27.800 Michael. Why are so many supplement companies charging ridiculous prices for products that are

00:15:33.020 not really that special? That doesn't make any sense, but I just discovered a company called Live

00:15:37.420 Good. They offer premium quality products without the ridiculous markups. They have a great team

00:15:42.020 of natural health experts creating these formulas. They are able to offer them at the lowest prices

00:15:47.140 that you will find anywhere. I really like the hydration pack, okay? They have a lot of great

00:15:53.300 stuff. They have organic super greens and multivitamins. They have collagen. They have

00:15:56.940 weight loss products. They even have skincare. All top quality stuff at prices that won't break the

00:16:01.040 bank. I, however, sometimes, you know, even when I was sick, I had the flu or whatever. Sometimes you

00:16:06.780 feel a little dehydrated. Sometimes you go out with some friends, as I did last night, have a couple

00:16:11.120 Coca-Colas. The hydration pack, really, really good. There's a reason that this is the fastest

00:16:37.360 without overspending. Speaking of immigrants, I got bad news. I teased this at the end of the show 1.00

00:16:42.220 yesterday. There's a foreigner who's been in our country for a long time. He's super annoying, 1.00

00:16:48.240 and I really wish the first Trump administration had deported him, but they haven't. And now he's

00:16:54.600 vowing to stay in the United States. I speak of leftist British talk show host, John Oliver.

00:17:04.680 I mean, it's a suboptimal time in human history, this.

00:17:09.000 No. And America, shining city on a hill.

00:17:12.900 Oh, and you and you you are a recent citizen. Yes. Congratulations. Thanks very much.

00:17:18.260 Thanks. Yeah. How do you feel? How do you feel? Are you still going to stick it out? Are you going

00:17:22.220 to head back to England? Oh, no, I'm sticking it out. I'm going I'm going down with the Titanic.

00:17:28.320 I'm sticking it out. Yeah. Yeah. And then the year that little dig at his new car, he's a new

00:17:31.700 country, right? He's got he's an American citizen. And already it's just poking his country, 0.78

00:17:38.280 his putative country. Oh, no, I'm going down with the Titanic, this awful ship.

00:17:41.560 Suboptimal time in America. Yeah. Yeah. It's really terrible. Everything's bad. Trump's

00:17:46.060 Hitler. Mango Mussolini. You know, everything's going to pot. They're all racist and sexist.

00:17:50.860 The whole country's terribly evil. So then Colbert, his former colleague at The Daily Show says, 0.97

00:17:55.740 yeah, OK, so are you going to leave? He goes, oh, no, I'm certainly not going to leave. I've been

00:17:58.940 begging to become a citizen of this sweet little lotto ticket for years. Oh, yeah.

00:18:04.900 Of course, he's not going to leave.

00:18:06.220 No, this is this is why the arguments you hear from the libs specifically on immigration are so

00:18:13.500 preposterous because the libs tell you this country's evil. It's imperialist. It's racist.

00:18:19.900 It's sexist. It's phobic. Black men are being ethnic minorities, period, are being chased down in the 0.84

00:18:27.800 street by racist, murderous, bloodthirsty whites, including law enforcement, just gunning them down 1.00

00:18:35.860 execution style. No marginalized person is safe. And that's why we must permit all the marginalized 1.00

00:18:44.620 people to stay in America. Whoa. What? Oh, that was terrible for them. You should be the you should 1.00

00:18:50.100 be flying the planes to get them out of here. It's so dangerous here. It's so terrible. Everything.

00:18:53.480 It's the Titanic. Get them the life rafts. Please get them back to Venezuela. Get them back to 1.00

00:18:59.100 Colombia. Oh, no, except no one really believes that. No one really believes it's the Titanic.

00:19:06.360 No one really believes that it's racist and sexist and blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah, no,

00:19:11.520 I'm definitely going to stay. It's a good deal, man. I'm making a lot of money. Get to do whatever I

00:19:15.360 want. Yeah, it's really great. Well, I hate this place. So anyway, now he's a citizen. I guess it's

00:19:20.260 going to be harder to deport him. Although, I don't know, there's got to be some tool available

00:19:24.780 to the president, right? I don't know. I'm just saying, Tom Homan, look into it. I'm glad you're

00:19:30.120 looking into Colony Ridge. I'm glad you're looking into Aurora, Colorado. I'm glad you're deporting

00:19:34.020 the face tattooed people. But if you have a moment, Mr. Homan, please look into John Oliver.

00:19:40.680 Didn't Obama murdered a U.S. citizen? Didn't he used a drone and zapped an Al Qaeda terrorist who

00:19:46.400 was a U.S. citizen? Hey, don't clip me out, Media Matters. I am not suggesting anything

00:19:52.080 about drones with John Oliver. You can even put him on a nice, cushy commercial airline.

00:19:56.920 I just want him deported, okay? I want to be very, very clear about that. All I'm asking is that you

00:20:02.960 deport the liberal talk show host, British gadfly, now U.S. citizen. Now, we've got some better show

00:20:09.520 business news. Kathleen Kennedy, the woman who destroyed Star Wars, is reportedly stepping down

00:20:18.840 at Lucasfilm. There's so much more to say. First, though, go to netsuite.com slash Knowles.

00:20:24.900 What does the future hold for business? Ask nine experts. You will get 10 answers. Bull market,

00:20:30.540 bear market, inflation's going up, inflation's going down. I call my financial guy sometimes to say,

00:20:36.000 hey, you got to buy some of this or whatever. And then, of course, guarantee whatever that thing

00:21:41.780 slash K-N-W-L-E-S. Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down at Star Wars. Now, I haven't paid attention to

00:21:50.780 the recent Star Wars movies or Disney generally because I am an adult, but one of my producers is

00:21:57.720 not an adult. That would, of course, be Professor Jacob, who's a huge Star Wars fan. So he gave me

00:22:02.460 just a little refresher on how Kathleen Kennedy has destroyed Star Wars. Disney acquires Star Wars.

00:22:11.140 Kathleen Kennedy comes to head it up. She then created a girl boss character, Rey, who was great 0.99

00:22:18.040 at everything and could beat up men and was just totally unbelievable. You know, Luke Skywalker takes

00:22:23.640 multiple movies, like three movies to figure out how to be a Jedi. But this chickie figures it out 1.00

00:22:28.260 in like two seconds. Then she brought back Emperor Palpatine, which according to my Zoomer associate

00:22:36.220 producer, destroys Anakin Skywalker's destiny fulfillment and then lets the chickie, you know, 1.00

00:22:43.520 kill him. Spoiler alert. Then she put a lesbian kissing scene in the final installment of the trilogy, 1.00

00:22:50.100 which she also did. She also put like a trans clone trooper in another one of the Star Wars shows.

00:22:56.060 She created that show, The Acolyte, which has like a negative 15% score on Rotten Tomatoes and

00:23:00.780 everyone hated it. It was super lib and it had communist lesbian witches in it. And it led Star Wars to 1.00

00:23:07.060 accurately depict the Kennedy tenure at Lucasfilm in a few simple words, make it lame and gay. 0.99

00:23:16.800 Put another gay, that first woman in it, make it f***ing lame. 1.00

00:23:21.640 No, what's going on with my stars? No, Kathleen Kennedy. 0.99

00:23:27.000 Is there a problem, people?

00:23:28.800 We were just discussing ideas of what to do with the new Prince Eric movie. 0.99

00:23:32.800 Put a chick in it, make her gay. 1.00

00:23:34.540 Maybe we should go a different route than we did with Indiana Jones. 1.00

00:23:38.040 Indiana Jones, put a chick in it, make her lame and gay. 1.00

00:23:41.280 Sure, yeah. Well, let's try that. Again. 0.99

00:23:44.760 Kathleen Kennedy is down on set right now, ruining the new Bambi movie. 0.99

00:23:48.600 Any diverse woman in it, make it f***ing. 1.00

00:23:51.740 Bambi's a baby deer. 1.00

00:23:53.720 Baby deer, put a chick in it, make her gay. 1.00

00:23:55.880 We've sent her away to have lunch at Spago. 0.99

00:23:58.080 There you are, Miss Kennedy, the linguine and clam sauce. 0.98

00:24:01.500 Excuse me, I believe I asked you to put a chick in this and make her gay. 1.00

00:24:05.160 Yes, the chef was a little confused what you meant by that. 1.00

00:24:07.960 That means put a chick in the linguine and make her f***ing gay. 1.00

00:24:13.220 And I want it lame. 1.00

00:24:15.860 So is it. That was the Kennedy tenure.

00:24:19.060 Every single creative idea that came to her, she said, yeah, okay. 0.99

00:24:23.520 Well, that's a good idea, but I want you to put a chick in it and make her lame and gay. 1.00

00:24:29.120 And that's exactly what she did. 0.99

00:24:30.420 So how are the trades reacting?

00:24:33.800 How are the liberal media reacting to this?

00:24:35.580 This is my favorite headline.

00:24:37.600 This is from IndieWire.

00:24:40.040 It says, if the Kathleen Kennedy era at Lucasfilm is ending,

00:24:44.820 its legacy is unfulfilled promises and unfair expectations.

00:24:49.980 Ask yourself this.

00:24:51.840 Is there any way Kennedy's tenure could have succeeded?

00:24:56.060 The answer to which is, yes.

00:24:59.600 Had she not ruined Star Wars?

00:25:02.280 Yeah, that's all she had to do.

00:25:03.820 She had one of the most valuable properties in popular culture.

00:25:07.580 And all she had to do was not ruin it by forcing leftism down the audience's throat. 0.95

00:25:14.500 All she had to do was not insist every single time on putting a diverse woman in it and making it lame and gay. 1.00

00:25:22.720 That's all she had to do. 0.97

00:25:24.200 She could have coasted. 0.95

00:25:25.040 The prequels, you know, like Jar Jar Binks and Qui-Gon Jinn and all that stuff, those were not exactly Casablanca, okay?

00:25:34.440 Those weren't the greatest movies ever, but they did very, very well.

00:25:38.840 They don't even have to be good movies.

00:25:40.220 They just have to not be offensively bad and constantly disconnected from reality, and she couldn't do that.

00:25:46.540 This woman, she became the president of Lucasfilm after the Disney acquisition in 2012.

00:25:53.800 She had a long career in show business.

00:25:58.100 Okay, you can't even really call her a DEI hire because she co-founded Amblin with Steven Spielberg in 1982, I think it was.

00:26:04.980 But she was kind of Spielberg's assistant, and when she finally got the reins herself, she blew it.

00:26:11.000 She's not exactly a DEI hire, but she sort of is.

00:26:13.820 And her hiring was a sign of the times.

00:26:18.740 2012 was peak insufferable millennial era, Obama era, rise of woke identity politics.

00:26:27.840 That was really when it was peaking.

00:26:30.060 You saw the lag of that in popular culture more like 2016, 2017.

00:26:34.980 But it really reached this fever pitch of a groundswell of momentum in about 2012, in the middle of the Obama era. 0.97

00:26:42.580 And so you get Kennedy at Star Wars, and she's going to make everything lame and gay. 1.00

00:26:46.700 And then, just as her hiring was a sign of the times, her firing is a sign of the times. 0.75

00:26:53.960 Kennedy is going out at the same time Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going out,

00:26:59.620 at the same time as the Associated Press is going out of the Oval Office,

00:27:03.460 at the same time as the DEI policies are going out of corporate America,

00:27:07.380 at the same time as the DEI departments are going out of universities and government agencies.

00:27:13.260 It's a sign of the times.

00:27:15.220 These things come in waves.

00:27:17.900 It's not just that Trump gets elected in 2016.

00:27:19.760 It's that Trump gets elected, and the Brits vote for the Brexit,

00:27:25.080 and Orban in Hungary is popular and has a lot of power,

00:27:29.680 and Maloney gets elected in Italy, and other right-wing parties are rising in Europe,

00:27:33.760 even though there's institutional pressure to keep them down.

00:27:36.160 And it's a sign of the times.

00:27:38.320 This is a big sign of the times.

00:27:39.700 I don't really care that much about what happens to the 500th Star Wars movie,

00:27:42.960 but I do care what is happening in the culture, and Kennedy leaving is good news.

00:27:49.740 Now, speaking of putting a chick in media and making her gay, 1.00

00:27:54.420 there is an ex-account that went viral yesterday.

00:27:57.740 It's an account called Ex Bisexual, who posted this.

00:28:01.800 I'm just going to read the posts that went viral.

00:28:04.360 Had a straight dude come to my place, and he was so impressed by the simplest things.

00:28:11.780 Art on the wall, rugs, a $40 knife block set. 1.00

00:28:14.900 Dudes are so effing lame and pathetic, lol, 1.00

00:28:16.880 they for real need a mommy to take care of them their whole lives. 1.00

00:28:20.460 Now, this woman, in her bio, she says she, her, or her pronouns,

00:28:24.660 she's at University of California, Santa Barbara, Psych and Brain Sciences.

00:28:28.960 This should be a woman who has real insight into psychology and how the brain works. 1.00

00:28:32.940 She goes on, next post, just to clarify.

00:28:36.940 A lot of people said, you know, he just said your home is nice.

00:28:39.140 Why are you attacking him?

00:28:40.600 She goes, just to clarify, it's nice to compliment someone's home.

00:28:43.880 But I'm more speaking on the fact that he was so shocked by very simple household items.

00:28:48.780 It just never ceases to amaze me how so many men don't know how to keep a basic home

00:28:53.320 without a woman helping them. 0.98

00:28:56.220 That is only amazing, that is only surprising,

00:28:59.640 if you don't understand that men and women are different.

00:29:03.860 And men and women have different strengths,

00:29:05.520 and men and women have different inclinations.

00:29:07.380 When I was living as a bachelor with roommates,

00:29:10.660 we probably didn't have a knife block set.

00:29:13.280 If we did, it was, someone probably gave it to us,

00:29:15.700 and it was probably missing like half the knives.

00:29:17.280 And we probably didn't clean up that well,

00:29:18.880 and we had laundry hanging around, and we ate pizza all the time.

00:29:21.860 And yeah, that's true.

00:29:24.360 Because we didn't have a woman in the apartment. 1.00

00:29:26.940 If we had a woman in the apartment, it probably would have looked nicer. 1.00

00:29:29.160 We probably would have had pictures on the walls.

00:29:31.880 Laundry probably would have gotten done a little bit.

00:29:33.560 That's true.

00:29:34.080 Sometimes people on the left, they make fun of me.

00:29:35.900 There was a clip of me that went viral where I said,

00:29:37.420 I don't know how to use my washing machine in my home.

00:29:40.360 And I don't.

00:29:41.420 I barely know how to turn the thing on and off.

00:29:44.460 But why should I?

00:29:46.040 She says, I'm amazed.

00:29:48.680 It never ceases to amaze me

00:29:50.040 how so many men don't know how to keep a basic home 0.98

00:29:51.980 without a woman helping them. 0.98

00:29:53.040 Sure, but you could just as equally say,

00:29:54.600 it never ceases to amaze me

00:29:56.140 how so many women don't know how to negotiate a contract, 1.00

00:30:00.040 which is why women actually make less money than men 1.00

00:30:01.940 is because they don't know how to negotiate a raise,

00:30:03.560 or why women don't know how to negotiate to buy a car. 1.00

00:30:06.520 They don't know how to get the right deal.

00:30:08.100 It never ceases to amaze me

00:30:09.860 how women don't even know how to check their own oil. 1.00

00:30:13.360 It never ceases to amaze me 0.98

00:30:14.920 how women don't know how to kill a spider 1.00

00:30:17.120 in the bathroom without screaming. 0.98

00:30:18.440 It never ceases.

00:30:19.080 I don't know.

00:30:19.420 Actually, none of that amazes me.

00:30:21.980 Because men and women are different. 0.98

00:30:25.040 You know, we talk about what is a woman 0.99

00:30:26.400 and gender dysphoria

00:30:27.560 and the confusion of men and women.

00:30:29.040 But look, a lot of people talk a good game

00:30:31.420 on the right even and on the center left.

00:30:34.720 But they don't want to take it all the way.

00:30:37.660 They don't want to recognize that

00:30:39.140 the gender dysphoria,

00:30:41.580 my friend Tim Gordon was making this point the other day,

00:30:43.460 the gender dysphoria sets in 0.88

00:30:45.800 the moment that you entertain any kind of feminism.

00:30:50.580 So you don't have to be chopping your body parts off

00:30:52.620 to be engaging in gender dysphoria.

00:30:54.440 The moment that you say,

00:30:55.460 I think men and women can do exactly the same things.

00:30:57.940 And of course,

00:30:59.020 women should be in military combat. 1.00

00:31:02.180 And yeah, of course,

00:31:02.980 women should be fighting fires 1.00

00:31:04.340 and carrying people out over their backs.

00:31:05.980 And of course, hold on, no.

00:31:07.580 And of course, men should be like 0.99

00:31:09.300 baking pies and doing the laundry all the time.

00:31:12.200 I don't, I just don't think sometimes,

00:31:14.140 but I don't think men are inclined that way.

00:31:19.280 Men and women are different.

00:31:20.600 The apartments of men and women living alone 0.97

00:31:22.760 are going to be, are going to look different.

00:31:24.580 Yeah.

00:31:25.340 And it's okay.

00:31:26.060 It's okay for the guy to go out there

00:31:27.520 and bring home the bacon 0.95

00:31:28.440 and negotiate the contract and change the oil.

00:31:30.540 And it's okay for the woman to bake a pie 1.00

00:31:32.440 and do the laundry

00:31:33.280 and make your home look really nice

00:31:34.980 and put the nice pictures on the wall.

00:31:36.200 It's okay.

00:31:37.980 If you, do you really believe men and women are different?

00:31:39.560 Then you should not be amazed by these things.

00:31:41.060 It doesn't take a degree in psychology

00:31:43.220 and brain science to know that.

00:31:45.760 The question that has everyone talking right now,

00:31:49.260 what did you do last week?

00:31:53.360 No idea why this is causing so much drama, but fine.

00:31:57.480 Here is what we did last week.

00:31:59.320 The entire Daily Wire gang went back to DC

00:32:01.720 for backstage live at CPAC.

00:32:03.080 Ben Shapiro and Chris Ruffo broke huge news

00:32:05.440 when they leaked tapes

00:32:06.240 exposing Department of Education contractors

00:32:08.040 supporting sex tapes in schools.

00:32:09.700 I faced off against 25 LGBT LMNOP trans activists

00:32:14.480 in what Jubilee called

00:32:15.980 their most explosive debate yet.

00:32:18.420 Matt Walsh released Clearing the Air,

00:32:20.080 the behind the scenes look

00:32:20.960 at the number one documentary of the decade,

00:32:22.420 Am I Racist?

00:32:23.100 And that list is just to be compliant

00:32:26.120 with Doge's ask.

00:32:27.620 We just want to make Elon happy.

00:32:28.900 Seems simple enough.

00:32:29.660 Do not miss a moment of the news,

00:32:31.260 shows, and entertainment.

00:32:35.220 Five, my favorite comment yesterday

00:32:38.000 is from Matthew Richard, 8514,

00:32:43.640 who says,

00:32:44.880 Joy Reid is now black history. 0.80

00:32:47.380 That's true.

00:32:48.220 I guess that's right.

00:32:49.000 We're in black history month.

00:32:50.760 Joy Reid is constantly talking about race. 0.61

00:32:52.780 And so I guess that's fitting.

00:32:53.780 The Joy Reid show is now officially black history. 0.71

00:32:56.120 I know people are going to say

00:32:59.400 after my rant about the ex-bisexual girl,

00:33:03.060 they're going to say,

00:33:03.600 but Michael, I know a man

00:33:05.320 who keeps a very good home. 0.98

00:33:07.800 And he's probably a homosexual, 1.00

00:33:08.920 but even if he's a straight guy, 0.67

00:33:09.780 you say, yeah, I'm sure there's some guy

00:33:11.720 who's really,

00:33:12.240 I actually know straight guys

00:33:13.460 who keep a neat home.

00:33:14.960 Sure.

00:33:15.820 They're going to say,

00:33:16.560 Michael, I know women 1.00

00:33:17.520 who are good at negotiating contracts

00:33:19.120 or changing the dollar.

00:33:19.800 You know, me too.

00:33:21.120 Me too.

00:33:21.620 I know some of the best business professionals

00:33:24.220 I know actually are women. 1.00

00:33:26.120 But they're pretty rare.

00:33:28.500 Okay, they're kind of the exception

00:33:29.820 that proves the rule.

00:33:31.680 All right.

00:33:32.100 And if you won't even acknowledge

00:33:34.160 that there is a rule,

00:33:35.260 that there is a trend,

00:33:36.160 that there is a pattern,

00:33:37.100 then you're just denying

00:33:38.340 that men and women really are.

00:33:39.700 Then you're just accepting

00:33:40.940 the trans ideology,

00:33:42.680 albeit in a more subtle way.

00:33:44.480 But speaking of job qualifications,

00:33:47.680 Dick Blumenthal,

00:33:49.240 Democrat senator,

00:33:51.340 is furious over some news

00:33:53.780 that we actually haven't talked about

00:33:54.860 on the show yet.

00:33:55.420 Namely,

00:33:56.620 that my friend,

00:33:57.600 Dan Bongino,

00:33:58.840 who I know many people

00:34:00.200 in the audience

00:34:01.980 and in the chat right now

00:34:02.880 absolutely love,

00:34:04.640 Dan Bongino

00:34:05.300 was appointed deputy director

00:34:07.180 of the FBI,

00:34:08.280 which is great.

00:34:08.820 The only bad thing about it

00:34:09.800 is that means

00:34:10.240 that his very popular show

00:34:11.440 will not be able to continue

00:34:12.880 until, I don't know,

00:34:13.680 until he leaves the administration

00:34:14.520 or something.

00:34:15.120 But this is great.

00:34:16.700 A big deal for Dan.

00:34:18.000 Huge congratulations.

00:34:19.160 He's a terrific guy.

00:34:20.780 This is wonderful news.

00:34:22.020 Everyone's happy

00:34:23.260 other than Democrats

00:34:24.400 on Capitol Hill

00:34:25.100 like Dick Blumenthal

00:34:26.060 who had this to say.

00:34:28.480 And Senator,

00:34:29.280 what do you make

00:34:29.760 of Dan Bongino

00:34:31.180 potentially to be

00:34:31.980 the deputy of the FBI?

00:34:33.220 It would have been inconceivable

00:34:36.520 that a person

00:34:37.960 with his background

00:34:38.860 would be head

00:34:40.140 of the premier

00:34:41.880 law enforcement

00:34:43.840 investigative agency

00:34:44.840 in the world.

00:34:47.380 He's a podcast ideologue

00:34:50.100 without any obligation

00:34:51.740 to head

00:34:52.380 this investigative agency

00:34:55.040 with profound

00:34:56.040 and far-reaching power

00:34:57.580 over people's lives

00:34:58.860 to enforce the law

00:35:01.440 and also to potentially

00:35:03.680 misuse the law.

00:35:07.560 I'm getting some real

00:35:08.940 glass houses vibes

00:35:10.680 from Dick Blumenthal here.

00:35:12.180 Dick Blumenthal wants to talk

00:35:13.240 about people's qualifications

00:35:14.420 and credentials.

00:35:15.860 The most notable fact

00:35:17.460 about Dick Blumenthal

00:35:18.520 is that he lied

00:35:19.980 about serving in Vietnam.

00:35:22.760 That is the most,

00:35:23.720 name one other thing

00:35:24.520 Dick Blumenthal

00:35:24.980 has ever done in politics.

00:35:26.760 You can't,

00:35:27.100 even if,

00:35:27.460 let's say you're a,

00:35:28.000 I know there are many Democrats

00:35:28.860 who listen to the show.

00:35:30.380 Name me one thing

00:35:31.200 Dick Blumenthal

00:35:31.660 has ever done.

00:35:32.740 You can't.

00:35:33.200 The one thing

00:35:33.740 that people know

00:35:34.160 about Dick Blumenthal

00:35:34.860 is he lied

00:35:35.800 about going to Vietnam.

00:35:37.380 He lied about

00:35:37.980 his qualifications,

00:35:39.040 his credential,

00:35:40.000 his military service.

00:35:41.260 That's it.

00:35:41.920 Meanwhile,

00:35:42.580 tell me about Dan Bongino.

00:35:44.380 I'll tell you about Dan Bongino.

00:35:45.860 Dan Bongino

00:35:46.440 was a New York police officer.

00:35:49.260 So he was an officer

00:35:50.560 in the premier

00:35:51.680 local law enforcement agency

00:35:53.700 in the United States.

00:35:54.520 He was then

00:35:55.320 a secret service agent.

00:35:56.680 He has got federal experience

00:35:59.360 in law enforcement

00:36:00.580 protecting people

00:36:01.680 like the president

00:36:02.320 of the United States.

00:36:04.100 He's a career cop.

00:36:05.540 And the worst attack

00:36:07.500 that you can make

00:36:08.500 on Dan Bongino

00:36:09.200 is he's a good communicator.

00:36:11.620 He's persuasive.

00:36:13.340 That's the worst attack.

00:36:14.180 It's the same attack

00:36:14.680 they made on Pete Hegseth.

00:36:16.160 So why is Pete Hegseth

00:36:17.380 not qualified

00:36:18.020 to be the head

00:36:19.400 of the Pentagon?

00:36:20.640 He's got degrees

00:36:21.660 from Princeton

00:36:22.200 and Harvard Kennedy School.

00:36:23.800 He has served

00:36:25.400 in the military

00:36:26.160 with honor

00:36:27.280 for decades.

00:36:29.040 He walks the walk.

00:36:30.660 And oh,

00:36:31.060 your problem

00:36:31.540 with Pete Hegseth

00:36:32.500 is he's persuasive

00:36:34.300 and handsome

00:36:34.840 and famous.

00:36:37.080 People like him.

00:36:38.140 That's the knock on him.

00:36:39.560 That's the attack.

00:36:40.240 And it's the same attack

00:36:41.080 on Dan Bongino.

00:36:42.500 This man,

00:36:43.640 he's an ideologue.

00:36:44.820 Hold on.

00:36:45.220 What he means by ideologue

00:36:46.100 is Dan Bongino

00:36:47.040 has a coherent view

00:36:48.020 of the world

00:36:48.420 and knows what he thinks.

00:36:49.620 And he's on a podcast.

00:36:51.440 Yeah, he's very popular.

00:36:52.780 People like him

00:36:53.480 and they find him persuasive

00:36:55.140 and he's a good communicator.

00:36:56.620 He's not qualified.

00:36:57.940 He's not qualified.

00:36:58.500 He's been in law enforcement

00:36:59.860 for most of his career

00:37:01.640 at very impressive levels

00:37:05.960 from the local

00:37:07.880 to the federal,

00:37:08.800 to the White House.

00:37:09.460 Seems like he's a perfect pick.

00:37:13.860 Now,

00:37:14.400 Danang Dick over there,

00:37:15.700 Danang Dick Blumenthal,

00:37:16.820 I don't know that he,

00:37:18.160 that he's a perfect,

00:37:18.780 maybe he is a perfect pick

00:37:19.700 for a U.S. Senator

00:37:20.420 because so many members

00:37:21.500 of the U.S. Senate

00:37:22.240 really have no credibility

00:37:23.360 or integrity.

00:37:24.420 I'll tell you one thing.

00:37:25.800 You want to talk to me

00:37:26.400 about integrity

00:37:27.860 and credibility?

00:37:29.620 Dan Bongino's got

00:37:30.400 a lot more of it

00:37:31.260 than old Danang Dick Blumenthal,

00:37:32.560 no question about it.

00:37:33.400 Now, speaking of

00:37:34.320 job qualifications,

00:37:36.240 many people were tagging me

00:37:38.420 in a video clip

00:37:39.440 last night.

00:37:40.600 This video clip

00:37:41.700 came from MSNBC.

00:37:43.600 They were asking

00:37:44.540 by someone

00:37:45.460 who apparently

00:37:46.580 bears a passing resemblance

00:37:47.600 to me,

00:37:48.340 was going off

00:37:49.400 on her employer

00:37:51.520 for firing Joy Reid.

00:37:53.940 Here we have

00:37:54.860 my Clark Kent,

00:37:56.280 Rachel Maddow.

00:37:57.720 There is no colleague

00:37:59.340 for whom I have had

00:38:00.300 more affection

00:38:01.140 and more respect

00:38:02.820 than Joy Reid.

00:38:04.120 I love everything

00:38:05.260 about her.

00:38:06.380 I have learned

00:38:07.040 so much from her.

00:38:07.900 I have so much

00:38:08.880 more to learn

00:38:09.480 from her.

00:38:09.940 I do not want

00:38:10.640 to lose her

00:38:11.160 as a colleague

00:38:11.820 here at MSNBC

00:38:13.000 and personally

00:38:13.720 I think it is

00:38:14.400 a bad mistake

00:38:15.180 to let her

00:38:15.980 walk out the door.

00:38:17.160 It is not my call

00:38:18.340 and I understand that

00:38:19.280 but that's what I think.

00:38:21.700 I will tell you

00:38:22.500 it is also

00:38:23.240 unnerving

00:38:24.640 to see that

00:38:25.440 on a network

00:38:26.060 where we've got

00:38:26.900 two,

00:38:27.740 count them,

00:38:28.180 two non-white hosts

00:38:29.360 in primetime,

00:38:30.800 both of our

00:38:32.040 non-white hosts 0.70

00:38:32.920 in primetime

00:38:33.620 are losing their shows

00:38:34.920 as is Katie Fang

00:38:36.040 on the weekend

00:38:36.700 and that feels

00:38:38.900 worse than bad

00:38:39.580 no matter who

00:38:40.760 replaces them.

00:38:41.640 That feels

00:38:42.240 indefensible

00:38:43.520 and I do not

00:38:44.540 defend it.

00:38:46.900 My doppelganger

00:38:48.180 going

00:38:49.280 to the wall

00:38:50.740 over the firing

00:38:51.780 of Joy Reid.

00:38:52.880 This is next level

00:38:53.940 stuff.

00:38:54.500 You see this

00:38:55.200 sometimes

00:38:55.700 from MSNBC.

00:38:57.420 When MSNBC

00:38:58.600 hired

00:38:59.040 Ronna McDaniel

00:38:59.960 you saw

00:39:00.920 a bunch

00:39:01.340 of the hosts

00:39:02.060 on NBC

00:39:02.900 attacking the network

00:39:04.520 for hiring

00:39:06.340 the former head

00:39:07.060 of the Republican

00:39:07.600 National Committee.

00:39:09.480 We were not

00:39:09.980 consulted.

00:39:10.880 We do not

00:39:11.620 support this.

00:39:12.380 This person

00:39:12.860 will not be

00:39:13.340 on our shows.

00:39:14.980 Joe Scarborough

00:39:16.120 and Mika Brzezinski

00:39:17.420 and all these people

00:39:18.240 we oppose

00:39:19.360 what the network

00:39:19.960 executives did.

00:39:20.640 Okay,

00:39:20.780 that's one thing.

00:39:22.720 Rachel Maddow

00:39:23.320 here is saying

00:39:24.480 that her bosses

00:39:25.280 are racist. 0.84

00:39:26.920 That's what she said 0.76

00:39:27.540 which is the worst

00:39:28.360 accusation on the left.

00:39:30.640 Doesn't really work

00:39:31.500 as much on the right

00:39:32.120 anymore

00:39:32.360 because they've been

00:39:33.060 dishonestly calling us

00:39:34.460 racist for so many decades.

00:39:35.940 We just kind of

00:39:36.440 brush us off

00:39:36.980 and we keep winning

00:39:38.040 more racial minorities

00:39:39.360 over to our side

00:39:40.040 so we forget about that.

00:39:41.380 But on the left

00:39:41.840 it's still a big deal.

00:39:43.700 She said

00:39:44.200 you should not have

00:39:45.200 fired Joy Reid.

00:39:46.080 No one watched her show

00:39:47.080 but you should have

00:39:48.500 kept subsidizing

00:39:49.380 this money pit anyway

00:39:50.620 because

00:39:51.640 you know

00:39:52.820 I really liked

00:39:53.600 all of the vile things

00:39:54.500 she was saying

00:39:54.920 about men

00:39:55.380 and white people

00:39:55.960 and Christians

00:39:56.420 and

00:39:57.320 the frankly

00:39:58.840 the fact that

00:39:59.640 you fired her 0.98

00:40:00.480 is evidence

00:40:01.240 of your racism.

00:40:03.380 Got to give a hat tip

00:40:04.360 to Steve Guest

00:40:04.920 for finding that clip

00:40:05.700 and

00:40:07.020 I got to give

00:40:08.100 some applause

00:40:09.040 to Rachel Maddow.

00:40:09.920 I am loving this show.

00:40:11.120 I'm loving it.

00:40:12.000 I feel I can take

00:40:12.940 some credit for it

00:40:13.840 you know

00:40:14.800 on account of the

00:40:15.580 anyway

00:40:16.420 we don't need to

00:40:17.040 but you've never seen us

00:40:17.820 in the same room

00:40:18.320 at the same time

00:40:18.840 and this is what

00:40:20.080 I want to see.

00:40:21.600 I want to see

00:40:22.580 the Democrat TV hosts

00:40:25.540 screeching

00:40:26.860 about how

00:40:27.980 the Democrat

00:40:28.660 TV executives 0.99

00:40:29.860 are racist. 0.98

00:40:32.020 I want to see 0.92

00:40:33.060 the base

00:40:33.940 screeching

00:40:34.920 about how

00:40:35.900 the Democrat

00:40:36.740 party leadership

00:40:37.540 is feckless

00:40:39.140 and out of touch

00:40:41.140 and I just want to see

00:40:42.820 the dog fight.

00:40:44.600 That's what I want to see

00:40:45.340 and that's what I am seeing

00:40:46.800 on the left

00:40:47.460 as things are crumbling

00:40:48.440 and the people get

00:40:49.760 increasingly desperate.

00:40:51.580 Now speaking of lesbians 1.00

00:40:52.620 LGBTQ identification

00:40:55.700 in the United States

00:40:56.640 has risen

00:40:58.160 to 9.3%.

00:41:01.020 Almost 1 in 10 people

00:41:04.000 identifies as LGBTQ.

00:41:07.200 However,

00:41:08.040 when you drill down

00:41:09.140 by generations

00:41:09.960 Gallup polling shows

00:41:12.060 almost 1 in 4

00:41:14.220 Zoomers 1.00

00:41:15.420 identifies as LGBTQ.

00:41:18.640 Which is actually

00:41:19.240 a more conservative estimate

00:41:20.260 than we saw a year or two ago

00:41:21.260 from NBC

00:41:21.860 which said that

00:41:22.900 almost 30% of Zoomers 0.98

00:41:24.340 identified as LGBTQ.

00:41:26.720 So you look at the

00:41:27.380 at the generations

00:41:29.240 back in the 90s

00:41:31.760 something like

00:41:32.600 1 or 2%

00:41:33.560 of Americans

00:41:34.080 identified as gay

00:41:35.000 or lesbian.

00:41:36.080 Transgenderism

00:41:36.600 hadn't really been

00:41:37.220 invented yet.

00:41:38.380 At least it wasn't

00:41:39.480 really a known thing

00:41:40.540 and then the other

00:41:41.880 57 letters

00:41:43.100 in the initialism

00:41:44.960 those were

00:41:45.420 non-existent.

00:41:47.520 But if you look

00:41:48.700 the silent generation 0.93

00:41:50.140 still identifies

00:41:51.140 at about that percent

00:41:51.900 it's 1.8%.

00:41:52.940 Even with all

00:41:53.920 the propaganda

00:41:54.500 1.8%

00:41:55.420 of the silent generation 0.98

00:41:57.100 of Joe Biden's

00:41:57.900 generation

00:41:58.360 identifies as

00:41:59.560 LGBTQ.

00:42:01.720 When you go to

00:42:02.440 the boomers 0.96

00:42:02.940 it's not much higher

00:42:03.800 about 3% of boomers

00:42:05.080 identify that way.

00:42:07.160 Gen X

00:42:07.560 it's a little bit higher

00:42:08.460 not much.

00:42:09.760 Gen X

00:42:10.460 5.1%.

00:42:11.800 Then you get

00:42:12.740 to the millennials

00:42:13.200 and it triples

00:42:13.800 almost.

00:42:15.840 That's the 0.99

00:42:16.420 that's the gay bomb 1.00

00:42:17.480 was the millennials. 0.99

00:42:18.800 What did I tell you though?

00:42:19.500 It was when

00:42:19.960 the millennials

00:42:20.960 when they really

00:42:21.420 started to come of age

00:42:22.380 was like 2012

00:42:23.140 middle of the Obama era 0.98

00:42:25.300 and they all went gay. 0.98

00:42:26.720 The millennials

00:42:27.400 identify as

00:42:28.640 LGBTQ

00:42:29.300 at 14.2%

00:42:31.520 but they are

00:42:32.920 downright repressed

00:42:34.200 and straight

00:42:35.240 compared to

00:42:36.420 the zoomers 1.00

00:42:37.140 who identify

00:42:37.840 at 23.1%

00:42:39.120 according to Gallup.

00:42:41.040 When I did my

00:42:42.160 episode of Jubilee

00:42:43.220 the Surrounded show

00:42:45.200 one of the prompts

00:42:46.360 that we debated

00:42:46.980 was that

00:42:47.780 LGBTQ

00:42:48.540 identity

00:42:49.620 is a social

00:42:51.280 contagion.

00:42:53.060 Not saying

00:42:53.880 that no one

00:42:54.340 is born

00:42:54.800 with certain

00:42:55.580 eccentric desires

00:42:56.520 not saying

00:42:57.440 that

00:42:57.960 you know

00:42:58.800 those ancient Greeks

00:42:59.660 didn't get up to

00:43:00.240 some weird stuff

00:43:01.000 back in the days

00:43:01.760 of Plato and Aristotle

00:43:02.700 those things happened.

00:43:05.180 But the

00:43:05.540 LGBTQ

00:43:06.100 identity

00:43:07.260 would seem

00:43:08.600 to be

00:43:09.160 a little bit

00:43:09.940 of a social

00:43:10.360 contagion here.

00:43:10.960 This is backed up

00:43:11.520 by some science

00:43:12.180 by the way

00:43:12.480 there's a study

00:43:13.060 on this

00:43:13.620 in 2018

00:43:14.260 but regardless

00:43:15.260 how do you explain

00:43:16.420 how do you explain

00:43:17.020 going from

00:43:17.500 1.8%

00:43:18.860 to 23.1%

00:43:20.500 of identifying

00:43:22.300 as a little

00:43:22.920 little bit

00:43:23.440 light in the loafers?

00:43:24.840 Is it the microplastics?

00:43:26.360 I guess that's one

00:43:26.900 explanation.

00:43:27.580 Is it the chemicals 0.61

00:43:28.160 turning the frogs gay? 0.88

00:43:29.180 Or is it 0.94

00:43:29.820 is there a

00:43:30.440 social aspect?

00:43:31.520 It is obviously

00:43:32.280 the latter

00:43:32.860 because

00:43:34.320 you don't even need

00:43:35.340 to become

00:43:35.840 some religious

00:43:36.500 fundamentalist

00:43:37.340 to understand this.

00:43:38.380 You can just look

00:43:39.240 at basic philosophy

00:43:40.300 and anthropology.

00:43:41.820 Human beings

00:43:42.420 are mimetic creatures.

00:43:43.680 I've mentioned

00:43:44.100 the thinker

00:43:44.580 Rene Girard

00:43:45.220 on the show

00:43:45.540 many times.

00:43:46.340 Rene Girard

00:43:46.820 whose central idea

00:43:47.700 is mimesis

00:43:48.960 the notion

00:43:49.380 that human beings

00:43:50.740 get much

00:43:51.640 of their behavior

00:43:52.320 and even their

00:43:53.020 desires

00:43:53.620 by imitating

00:43:55.200 others.

00:43:56.820 You want

00:43:57.860 the Rolex watch

00:43:58.900 not because

00:43:59.860 you know

00:44:00.200 anything about

00:44:00.920 watchmaking

00:44:01.540 not because

00:44:02.480 you want to

00:44:02.900 tell the time

00:44:03.320 accurately

00:44:03.760 you can tell

00:44:04.140 the time

00:44:04.380 more accurately

00:44:04.940 with a $15

00:44:05.660 Timex watch

00:44:06.600 you want

00:44:07.480 the Rolex watch

00:44:08.380 because

00:44:09.500 someone else

00:44:11.100 that you like

00:44:11.840 or admire

00:44:12.660 or want to

00:44:13.140 be like

00:44:13.560 has the

00:44:14.480 Rolex watch.

00:44:15.180 That's why

00:44:15.660 you are imitating 0.52

00:44:17.420 not only the

00:44:18.120 behavior of that

00:44:18.800 person

00:44:19.140 but even

00:44:19.920 the desires

00:44:20.620 of that

00:44:21.020 person.

00:44:22.600 We imitate

00:44:23.780 each other.

00:44:24.960 That's how

00:44:25.520 you get that

00:44:26.040 number

00:44:26.360 which is why

00:44:27.540 culture

00:44:28.560 indoctrination

00:44:29.380 in the schools

00:44:29.700 this is why

00:44:30.040 the left

00:44:30.360 wants to put 1.00

00:44:30.940 gay porn 1.00

00:44:31.600 in kindergarten 1.00

00:44:32.260 that's why

00:44:32.640 they want

00:44:32.820 to put

00:44:33.000 genderqueer

00:44:33.620 in elementary

00:44:34.020 schools

00:44:34.400 is to

00:44:35.900 cultivate

00:44:36.240 these kinds

00:44:36.720 of desires

00:44:37.220 because

00:44:37.660 that speaks

00:44:38.520 to their

00:44:38.960 basic

00:44:39.620 anthropology

00:44:40.180 which is that

00:44:40.740 men and

00:44:41.080 women aren't 1.00

00:44:41.480 really different

00:44:42.040 and we

00:44:42.920 can be as

00:44:43.500 gods

00:44:43.880 and we

00:44:44.140 can control

00:44:44.580 everything

00:44:45.000 and we

00:44:46.460 don't need

00:44:47.020 to follow

00:44:47.400 any kind

00:44:47.900 of traditions

00:44:48.360 or transcendent

00:44:49.080 moral order

00:44:49.640 but we

00:44:50.360 can recreate

00:44:51.360 the whole

00:44:51.780 world anew

00:44:52.360 and we

00:44:53.620 can maximize

00:44:54.260 our individual

00:44:54.720 autonomy

00:44:55.020 and all the

00:44:55.320 rest.

00:44:55.540 I mean

00:44:55.600 there are

00:44:56.340 hours of

00:44:57.340 philosophical

00:44:58.420 discussion

00:44:59.140 that underpin

00:45:00.240 those kinds

00:45:01.340 of real

00:45:01.720 political

00:45:02.040 actions

00:45:02.420 the drag

00:45:02.820 queen 0.69

00:45:03.000 story

00:45:03.340 hour

00:45:03.620 and all

00:45:03.860 the rest

00:45:04.120 of it.

00:45:05.260 But I

00:45:05.820 guess

00:45:05.960 if you

00:45:06.400 disagree

00:45:06.740 with me

00:45:07.200 and

00:45:07.420 Rene Girard

00:45:08.060 and philosophy

00:45:08.860 and religion

00:45:09.460 and all

00:45:09.680 the rest

00:45:09.880 just

00:45:10.300 what's

00:45:11.760 the

00:45:11.920 alternative

00:45:12.460 explanation

00:45:13.140 how do

00:45:14.180 you go

00:45:14.620 how is

00:45:15.760 it now

00:45:16.080 almost

00:45:16.420 one in

00:45:16.740 four

00:45:16.920 maybe

00:45:17.160 more

00:45:17.480 identify

00:45:18.500 as

00:45:18.680 LGBTQ

00:45:19.180 I can't

00:45:19.760 figure

00:45:19.900 that out

00:45:20.240 today

00:45:20.640 is

00:45:20.840 woke

00:45:21.060 Wednesday

00:45:21.520 the rest

00:45:23.180 of the

00:45:23.400 show

00:45:23.540 continues

00:45:23.980 now

00:45:24.200 you do

00:45:24.480 not

00:45:24.620 want

00:45:24.760 to

00:45:24.860 miss
