Barrett and Roberts Side with Libs at SCOTUS, Woke Wiener Harassed, and "Supergirl" Bombs, with Mike Davis and Stu Burguiere | Ep. 1349

28:55Will it be immediately? Well, Jake, first of all, temporary protective status was never intended to be permanent. And there's a lot of people that came over here 15, 20 years ago underneath TPS that's already changed their status. The whole time these individuals have been here underneath the temporary protective status, they could have applied for a visa. They could have applied for LPR, they could have applied for different directions, but the status itself can be ended in its name itself by saying temporary. So these individuals have a couple of choices. They can try to apply for a permanent residence here.

29:31They can apply for a temporary visa if they choose to, or they can choose to go back. And if they want to go back, we'll help them with that. If I'm talking directly to the individuals with the temporary protective status, either try to fill out the paperwork and be here underneath a permanent status or we'll help you get back to your country. We'll actually give you a plane ticket plus roughly twenty one hundred dollars to help you reestablish when you get there. OK, and what people are upset about is him saying you've got a couple of choices. You can apply still for permanent residence here or for a visa or go back.

30:13Whereas I think most people expected it was go back. You were here on a permission slip that's now been revoked. You did not do any of those applications while you were here on our invitation. And now that your status has been revoked, the answer is not for you to be doing applications. The answer is get out. Yeah. So Mark Wayne Mullen, he got lit up by conservatives, including me, very publicly on X. I've also made my extreme dissatisfaction known very privately within Trump world of all the right people. I think he got the memo pretty quickly because he's been backtracking fast, very fast. But I would say this, how the hell is that your response?

31:00You go on a liberal network like CNN. We've been fighting for years to get these Haitians and Syrians the hell out of our country. And your response is to go kiss Jake Tapper's ass and try to make this a plea to the left that you're trying to be as kind as you can. Get these people the hell out of our country. We had Biden let in over 20 million illegals into our country. They abused our system. They abused our generosity. They abused our goodwill. And people like me who used to be a lot softer on immigration five, 10 years ago, I'm just as hardline as you can get. Get these people the hell out of our country.

31:47If and when the Supreme Court says that Chinese birth tourists and other illegals get birthright citizenship, we need to get all illegals out of our country fast. And we need to start with birthing aged women, get them out of our country. We have zero compassion left for these illegal aliens. They've overrun our small towns. They've they've overrun our cities. They've brought in crime. They they brought in filth. We're tired of it. We don't want America to become Europe overrun by Muslims, overrun by people who hate us, we don't want it. Yeah, exactly. We've been really clear on that. That's why President Trump was elected in part.

32:27I think Kristi Noem understood that. I'm not sure why Mark Wayne Mullen didn't and why. Yeah, I agree with you. He went on in front of a liberal audience and tried to pander to them, which is the last thing. Like Stephen Miller would never make such a mistake. What's what's the deal with this Mark Wayne Mullen? Do we know, Mike? I hope he doesn't have the IQ of a Haitian like we saw on CNN. But he needs to he needs to understand that this is not the Senate. You're in the Trump administration. And if you're going to bring your Senate weakness to the Trump administration, you're not going to last because the American people, Trump's voters, are not going to tolerate weakness on immigration.

33:12That's what keeps us united. and if Mark Wayne Mullen or his Oklahoma buddy, he just picked to run ice, tried to backtrack on full-throated immigration enforcement, especially after this birthright citizenship ruling tomorrow that's gonna screw us, then there's gonna be a loud call for his resignation. Yes, yes. And as you point out, you know a lot of people in the administration and they should be very grateful to you for all the advocacy and great work you've done. We are, for you coming on this show, so often, Mike. It's a pleasure. Good to see you. Thank you, Megan. So you heard Mike's point about the Haitians.

33:50And honestly, like I'm, I feel exactly as he does. I don't feel charitable toward this group of people at all. There are multiple sob stories out there about these Haitians. Now they're trying to peddle this, like, Oh, they're just here. Mike DeWine, the governor, like, Oh, they're just, you know, they're contributing to society. Oh, we have it. Okay. Here's here it is. Listen to Mike DeWine, the Ohio governor. So three. Governor, you just heard Secretary Mullen defend the decision. You say it's a mistake. What's your take? Well, I think it's a mistake for a number of reasons. First of all, to go back to what you were just discussing, you cannot fly into Port of Prince today.

34:27U.S. carriers are prohibited from going in there. They've extended that ban. Federal officials, the United States have extended that ban into September now. And it's been there for a long time. The reason they can't go in there is because these gang leaders who control a good part of Haiti today shoot at the planes when they when they come in. So that's that's certainly one thing you've pointed out, you know, advisories, heavy advisories. U.S. citizens do not do not go into Haiti. It's a very, very dangerous place. But the other point is it is not in the United States's interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and then put deep roots in this country and really are contributing and yank them out.

35:22Unbelievable. Okay, so deep roots? What do you mean? The whole label says temporary. They knew that very well. Clearly, they didn't apply for a permanent residency because they would have gotten it had they applied. And especially under the Biden administration, they either didn't apply or they did apply and they were rejected. But it's time to go home now. You've been here on our good graces for far too long. And those wonderful jobs that they're allegedly taking could be taken by American citizens, as can their homes, which they're driving up the rents for. And these folks have proven themselves to be a danger to the communities that they are in.

36:03OK, I'm going to give you one more. That's the current governor of Ohio. Here's John Kasich, who's the former governor of Ohio. I knew him at Fox News. I can't believe he's talking like this. But listen to this. The Supreme Court decision has said that Haitians are going to have to be removed from Springfield, Ohio. I guess I understand that, but there is an opportunity for the Congress to extend temporary protection status because things in Haiti are just deteriorating and sending people back there with their families to me is just crazy. I wish the Congress would extend this for the Haitians, but if not they'll say that that's the law.

36:44And to quote somebody, a figure from a Charles Dickens novel, if that's the law, then the law is an ass. We have extended it. It's an 18 month stint and we've extended it 10 times. They've been here for 18 years. That's enough. Why should American citizens have to suffer indefinitely because Haiti can't get its shit together because Haiti is still not hospitable to American tourists. I'm going to guess it's a little better if you're an actual Haitian going back home. No, we're not going to go down there to tour. Yes, we do think it's a shithole country. It's really not our responsibility. There are a lot of them.

37:26You know, we did these folks a real solid in allowing them to come here temporarily to avoid the problems down there. It is not our obligation to fix Haiti and to house all of its citizens until it can perform as a more upstanding, less third world country. That's not our job. Sorry. That's like there are there are a lot of, you know, teenagers out there who have like absentee parents who are committing crime in the underbelly of our biggest cities. Is it our job, those of us who have functioning, well, mentally stable families to go try to get them? They get arrested. They get sent off to, you know, some family home, some group home.

38:14Is it our job to to take them in so they can disrupt our family? Is that our obligation? And if we do, like a foster family, if you add a child in and he's incredibly disruptive and he hurts your existing children in your home, do you have an obligation to keep him forever because you let him come over once out of a good heart? He must stay now because, you know, the home from which you got him, the group home, well, that's no place for a teenage kid to live. Well, I'm sorry. We tried to do something nice. It didn't work out. They need to go back home. They didn't assimilate. They've been disrupting these communities.

38:50I don't know about these sob stories that these two governors of Ohio are trying to spin to us. But let me tell you what the real story is, OK, because we went back and combed through the news reports about these Haitians, these wonderful Haitians that were told all about who are allegedly just like you and me. They're just living life in rural Ohio, just like their fellow Americans. It's not true. Watch the following reel. This is just a few. We could have been here all day with these news stories, but it's only a limited show. So here's a highlight, a low light reel, if you will, of what these Haitians have been up to.

39:25Amanio Joseph crossed the center line, hit the bus and caused it to flip. 52 elementary students were on board. An 11 year old boy, Aiden Clark, died. Mr. Joseph shattered our lives. Prosecutors learned he has a Haitian immigration registration in Florida. The court had to recruit a local health care worker to interpret in Creole after learning Joseph could not understand English or Spanish. Investigators say the man suspected of murdering a mother with a mallet outside a gas station in Fort Myers is in the country illegally. The suspect came here from Haiti. He had a temporary protected status to stay.

39:59But DHS says that status expired in 2024. So he was in the country illegally. The man charged with going on the violent rampage appeared in front of a judge today. In chains, McKendie Darbuzzi stood in the courtroom as the details of the deadly stabbing were revealed. A 4-year-old, 13-year-old, and a 77-year-old. Darbuzzi, a Haitian national. I've been prosecuted for 25 years, and this case is as bad as any I've heard about. Justillion is being charged with murder, rape, strangulation, and felonious assault connected to the homicide of 26-year-old Crislanda Auguste. Both the victim and defendant are from Haiti.

40:36Alvarez is a migrant from Haiti. he stands accused of raping another migrant, a 15-year-old girl. 26-year-old Jordani Joseph from Haiti is charged with rape and kidnapping. The man convicted of killing a woman and stuffing her body in a closet. Turns out he was supposed to have been deported before that murder occurred. He killed my daughter. I'm so upset. I mean, there's no reason for this. It's tragic knowing that this man was never supposed to be in the country. At the first place, he was supposed to be deported back to Haiti. A man in this country illegally with 17 criminal convictions here in Massachusetts is now in custody, member of a violent Haitian street gang.

41:14I'm not going back to Haiti. ICE says he's a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years. Trump, you feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro. Thank Obama for everything that he said for me, bro. I'm not going back to Haiti. You are going back to Haiti, as are your fellow Haitians who have overstayed their welcome, period. You're going back to Haiti, all of you. Sorry, I don't mean to sound heartless. I understand not every Haitian is a criminal, but enough of them are that they need to go. This should not be our problem. And Mike DeWine with his, oh, they're fixing up old houses, they're starting businesses, they're supporting a family.

41:57why don't you tell it to the woman at the 7-Eleven who got her brain bashed in with a hammer? Why don't you tell it to that little girl and her mom and her grandmom who got stabbed to death by that Haitian, okay? I'm not so sure they're all setting up businesses and raising families peacefully, Mike DeWine. I want to bring in Stu Berguier. He's our guest today. He's been watching, and he is the host of Predictable with Stu. Stu, great to have you. This is the problem with what Mark Wayne Mullins said, what Mike DeWine said, what John Kasich said, all three of whom are Republicans. Wild, wild to see it, you know, and even to extend what he said, we're going to give them twenty one hundred dollars to resettle.

42:47Are we really? I know a lot of people who could use twenty one hundred dollars who live here and have never broken the law and don't have to don't have to make an argument about whether they're allowed in this country. because they were born here and they're citizens and have been their entire lives and really could use$2 ,100. You know, look, I'm with you. There are people who come here that do contribute to our society. You know, I think we've seen a microcosm of how the American people feel about visitors to this country with everything that's gone on with the World Cup over the past few weeks, when we have people coming in from these other countries and, you know, going to Buc-ee's and seeing, you know, the stuff that we kind of take for granted and celebrating it.

43:26And when we have people who come here legally and come here with an appreciation for the country, with an idea that they do want to assimilate, that they do want to not just take advantage of all the wonderful things we have, but celebrate them and further them and contribute to that whole project. We love it as Americans. I think it's something that we actually cherish. And you'll see, by the way, in a lot of the countries that we might be sending people back to, they have very dissimilar policies and approaches to immigrants coming into their countries. They reject them. We, I think, have been very open to the idea of having people come here, but we've lost track of—we've lost the plot a little bit here, Megan, where the idea was to improve the country, not just for the citizens, but also the people who are visiting from other countries.

44:18We want to further that project and make this a better place for everybody to be. It's not just importing everybody else who's running away from a terrible regime and then huddling them in tight knit communities where they're essentially just importing this disastrous situation they had in Venezuela or, you know, in Haiti or some other place. We're not looking to import that. We're looking to improve our situation with people who can achieve things and contribute to society. Those people absolutely do exist. But the way to do that is not a blanket 25 year temporary designation where we let everyone come in and, you know, and essentially live the import their Haitian lives into Ohio.

45:06Yes, you've got 350 ,000 of them still. We're not talking about like a case by case basis, which is still being evaluated by the administration. You know, if you if you come and you seek asylum or what have you. But this is like 350 ,000 Haitians. We didn't need that ever in America. And the citizens of Ohio are all over the record in objecting to what they're doing in their various communities like Springfield. It's just the mainstream media won't play it. They ignore their testimonials, especially because they tend to be white Ohioans as opposed to black people from Haiti. And so the media's knee jerk instinct is one is evil and one is all goodness and will ignore reports.

45:53Remember that 7-Eleven video Trump tweeted out and he said, I'm sorry, this is so. violent, but I had to I had to draw attention to it. That's that's one of these great Haitians that we're supposed to be loving here in the United States. There's lots of this. I had this argument with Bill Maher a year and a half ago where he said, you know, a lot of Americans commit crime to fine, but we have to keep them. We're not allowed to deport Americans, but we we are allowed to deport bad house guests who come stay 18 years and start hacking up grandmas. We are allowed to say no to that. Yes, we are. I mean, you're totally right.

46:34You know, we have enough insane people of our own. It's not to say that we're perfect. You know, America has a lot of crazy people, a lot of people. But we can't just like kind of having somebody in your family. It's like you're kind of stuck with them at some level. And that is true. The bottom line, though, is we don't need to import more insane people. There's no reason we have to do that. We can go by a case-by-case basis and screen very, very tightly and look for people who are absolutely additive to our country. I'm not a person who thinks that we should never have anyone who comes here.

47:08A lot of other nations, by the way, do have policies like that, that they don't allow anyone in for basically any reason. We have not been that country. And I do think that's been to our benefit when applied correctly, when applied in a sane manner. You know, it's one thing to say, like, hey, they're in the middle of a tragic situation, and, you know, we can help some of those people out. You know, we don't have to do that. That's not our – we're not forced to do that. We have done it in the past, and at times I think I've seen benefit out of that. Like one of the examples that I see all the time, and we would have callers all the time that would call into Glenn Beck radio show, who would be people who came from former communist nations, right?

47:52People who went through the tyranny of communism and came here because they, not because like, oh gosh, well, I can take advantage because they have higher hourly rates over there. They came here because they love this country and they had seen what the other approach to leading a nation was. They had seen communism. They had seen socialism. And it made them among the greatest Americans we had because they had seen the opposite side. They didn't take what we had for granted. There are approaches where this can work really, really well for our nation. But it's not just mass importing hundreds of thousands of people from a third world nation.

48:31And then I think, in addition, a big part of this problem, Megan, is putting them in this one big clump. Right. Like, you know, I do think that's a real problem with this because it extends, I think, the honestly normal human instinct. You're around people who are like you that have maybe some of the same traditions and the same, you know, cultural ideas. And you never do assimilate because of that. You know, like I my neighbor is an immigrant point. Yeah. My neighbor is an immigrant from a family immigrants from India. They're awesome. They absolutely have been additive to this country. They have helped this country.

49:11They have, you know, they're high achievers. They've done great things in the community. They're really good people, and I love them, and I'm glad I live next to them. You know, that is the image. They live in a community that is not 100 % Indian. A lot of the people around them are totally different races and cultures, but they very much seem like they could have been living here their entire lives. Why? Because they want to be that way. They like America. because they want you that contrast that with what we heard in that first report and that reel that I just played where it's like the guy couldn't even speak English.

49:44He committed a bunch of crime and then needed a translator at his hearing because he didn't even bother to learn the language here. Listen to this. All right. This is the in date in the Dayton Daily News, because Ohio lawmakers are among those who are now urging the U.S. Congress to override the Supreme Court decision saying Trump has this authority, like to pass some piece of legislation demanding that they stay. And ideally, I guess they see it as a veto proof majority that would pass this to allow these Haitians to stay. And then there was a letter to the editor from a guy who calls himself ticked off Ohioan after seeing that, all this push.

50:26And he writes as follows. I'm tired of reading a one sided view of the Haitian influx in Springfield. Their presence in Springfield and all of Ohio has been detrimental, but the only people the media interviews are pro-Haitian. Our political leaders are not advocating for the majority of the citizens. There are some that work, but at lower wages, less or no benefits and no complaints. That's not good for Americans, by the way. TPS Haitians have been treated better than the citizens of Springfield. There are many complaints of how rude and entitled these people are because they know they have the support of people who are benefiting from their presence in some way, financially, boosting self-importance or increasing congregations in church.

51:02But no media interviews workers anonymously in the fields that deal with these problems like teachers, police, nurses, cashiers, workers at the Social Security office, DMV, or the health department. The pro-Haitian media coverage has fueled the fire. That's what's real. The media is on board with whitewashing all of these problems do and letting citizens of Springfield and other communities just like it deal with it. President Trump knew better. He listened to the voters on his campaign. He understood that these folks needed to go. They had overstayed. They were not additive. He didn't he couldn't be shamed out of it, you know, by the debate moderators on ABC or by anybody else.

51:46And then he enacted the policy. He said he would. He ran on this exact thing, which is why I believe what Mike Davis said, which is that Mark Wayne Mullen understands now they will not be allowed to stay. We will not be encouraging them to apply for permanent residency. And Mullen's self-reversal on X, whether it's sincere or not, is what's going to rule the day because his boss, I believe, is on our page. Okay. Stu Brigere stays with us. Quick break. We'll be back in a minute. Don't go away. Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card.

52:26They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans. Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections.

And that's a good thing. Because what that is doing is it's pushing the system towards increased transparency as we all work together to answer those questions.

So Stu, just to continue on the Haitian immigrant thing, we just went back and looked at the headlines coming out of the press, especially in Ohio on this. And it is like MSNBC wrote all of them. You would think there was universal support for these hundreds of thousands of Haitians to stay. 10TV, Columbus, Ohio. Springfield residents rally in support of Haitian community after Supreme Court TPS ruling. WKRC in Cincinnati.

55:22In Cincinnati. Local advocates warn of risks after ruling clears way to end TPS for some immigrants. Just want you to know about the risks that'll be affiliated with sending them home, not keeping them here. Dayton Daily News, hundreds rally in support of Haitians after TPS decision. Springfield News, Sun in Springfield, Ohio lawmakers among Haitian TPS backers urging Congress to override Supreme Court decision. More from 10 TV. Fear grips Haitian communities after Supreme Court ruling unwinds protection from deportation. Let me show you a different set of headlines, OK? We put this together back when this was in the news during the presidential election and President Trump was under fire for the presidential debate at which he said they're eating the dogs.

56:14They're eating the cats. And what was happening in Springfield, Ohio, with these Haitians took center stage of the news. They had massive turnout at community meetings where the Springfield residents tried to make their own voices heard directly, which did not get headlines like this all over Ohio news. It only appeared sporadically on places like Fox, like this show and a few others. And here's just a walk down memory lane. This is two years ago. I guarantee you all of these people are very much in favor of the Supreme Court restoring reason and affirming President Trump's ability to tell these people their stay has now ended.

56:58Watch. Come to Walmart and stay a day. Go to the bank and stay a day. Go to any place and stay one day and you'll see what we see. Drive around our community. Mr. Heck, I sent you video of the homeless people living in the back of Lincoln School. I have the pictures here today. They're living in the back of Lincoln School. I even showed you video of them. You could see the monkey bars. Nothing has to be done. Code enforcement won't come out. The police won't come out. Come to the real life. Go to Walmart and watch those Haitians open up jars of the tomato paste, pizza sauce, Dip their fingers in it and eat it.

57:41Go to Kroger's. You know how Kroger's has a little fruit up front for like five bucks? They pick it up and start eating it and discard the thing. I've seen them do it. So I'm not here saying I know they're doing it. I've seen it. Go to grocery land. Watch every day those people get ripped off. They post it every day on the Internet. How much meat the Haitians take and steal. They put in baby carriage in front of them and walk out. They can't do nothing. The city is going to shit. And you guys thinking where we're doing good. My car insurance got raised. I have a perfect driving record. I'm 64 years old.

58:21Never had a speeding ticket. Never been in an automobile accident. But my car insurance goes up. So I called Nationwide, which is my car insurance and my homeowner's insurance. You know what they said? Because the accident rate in Springfield has tripled. Oh, God. And listen to the police monitor. Listen. Every day, these officers get called out to Haitians that no one can speak their language, and they get out and run. We didn't vote for this. You guys voted us for this. And now we're seeing the repercussions of it. We got, I noticed we got a pretty park, million-dollar park down here, Lady of the Trail.

58:57We got new concrete out here. I don't see any squatters, tent cities or anything here, but we got them in our neighborhoods. Shouldn't we share? Are we all not in this together? Are we all not in this together? I've heard people express concerns about personal safety, women who are afraid to walk in stores, Women stalked out into parking lots with their children by groups of individuals staring at them and taking pictures of them. Women afraid to go to the gym. We've heard about needles in playgrounds and in vacant lots. People sleeping in bushes all over town. But not once have I heard people complain about race.

59:37And I wish you guys would stop pushing this through the filter of identity politics because it's allowing you to ignore our real concern. And that's what you've been doing. and you've been ignoring us. Amazing. I'm not hearing that anywhere, Stu, but those are actual Americans who have had to live with these people who are not so worried about the fear gripping Haitian communities after Supreme Court ruling unwinds TPS protection. Yeah, no, I mean, no, those voices typically don't get heard, right? And, you know, the last guy, I think, put it really, really well. You know, if you're sitting here saying, well, I don't want people who don't look like me in my community.

1:00:15That's a totally different complaint that I'm not hearing out of those people's mouths. That's not what they're saying. That's not what they're saying at all. I suspect, Megan, if we imported 350 ,000 Swedish people into Ohio and they started hitting women over the head with mallets at gas stations, the people there would be just as angry about it. It's got literally nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. It's got to do with the way that people act in a community and whether they want to be part of the community. One of the speakers there said something like, I mean, aren't we all in this together?

1:00:50Quite simply, the answer to that is no, right? The people at these levels in politics and that are implementing these policies on regular people are not in it with them. They don't think about them. That's not their concern. And that's why people are angry. And that's why I think people are reacting this way. They they're fine with people in their community who become part of their community. When when when you have you're importing high levels of crime and people who take advantage of the systems that we've built to try to help people. That's where it gets really people get angry. They're the taxpayers.

1:01:26They're the one footing the bill for this. And I went I was on a trip a while ago, just a vacation to the Bahamas. And I was there for a few days and I was sitting there at a table talking to a guy who was also visiting. and he was there for a longer period of time. He was there for several weeks. And, you know, this guy seemed like he was, he did very, very well for himself. And I was asking him about, and we were talking about his trip, and he said when he came in, he didn't have an exit flight booked because he was like, I'm going to sort of come for a few weeks. He was like a business owner and could kind of run his business remotely.

1:01:56And he said that when he came in there, the people, you know, as he was being accepted into the country, the people in the Bahamas said, we need to see proof that you have enough income and enough in your bank account to be able to sustain your time here. Because we don't want to be able to, we can't be responsible for you. If you're going to come here and you're going to be a wealthy tourist and throw lots of money around, we'd love to have you. It'll be great as long as you're following our laws. But if you come here and you're just going to live off of our system, we can't allow you to even enter on a vacation.

1:02:30We're talking about 20 years of allowing people to come in here and essentially giving them the exact thing that the people in the Bahamas wouldn't allow for a couple of weeks. That is, you know, their policy is pretty sane there. They should be able to screen people and say, hey, look, if you're going to come here and enjoy our nation, great. We can't be paying for your lifestyle here. That is not what we've implemented with these people. And of course, there has to be some sort of expiration date to that. It's not just crazy people on the right. It's not just local community members saying that.

1:03:02It's the Supreme Court saying it as well. Obviously, this is the same ruling and a same reaction, I think, for the American people to say, look, we'll be giving when we can. But we're having our own tough times here. This can't be an eternal situation. There are limits to it. And again, Trump ran on this. It was an explicit promise. And it is one of the reasons he got elected to look out for the forgotten man in the middle of Nowheresville, Ohio, who are not represented by the elite talking heads all over MS now talking about what a shame this is and how heartbreaking it is. They've never even met a Haitian immigrant.

1:03:44They have no idea what these people are dealing with, what that first man saw when he went to the Walmart, which he wasn't the only testimonial about this custom or habit or practice by a lot of these Haitians of going into grocery stores or stores like Walmart and opening up the jars and eating with their fingers. We heard multiple testimonials just like that. Like, why should you have to live like this? Why should you have to worry when you're with your daughter and you're going to the gym or you're going by a school and they're on the monkey bars instead of your kids because they've decided to set up temporary housing there, notwithstanding all the government largesse that we've dumped on them.

1:04:22We don't just say, like, welcome to America, bye. We've been supplementing their lives, subsidizing their lives. They've been getting government checks. It's over. It's over. Like we're done. We're done with the crime. The thing that all of them testified to, and I remember this from 2024, was the driving, how they're terrible drivers. And you heard that first guy making the point of how his auto insurance had tripled. Like none of these people writing for WKRC or any of those, they're not, that's not being reported on. You need to get to a real live American citizen, ideally blue collar, to ask how have they actually affected your life?

1:05:03And that doesn't include Mike DeWine or John Kasich, both of whom have turned into limousine liberals who are more interested in pandering to the left and getting pats on the head for being so accepting than they are in holding President Trump to his promise, which he is living up to. And these people need to go. So good. All right. I want to keep going. Amazingly, something extraordinary happened to my least favored politician in America. The audience has heard me talk about him. His name is Scott Wiener. And we've been on the Scott Wiener beat for a long time here, because if you oppose the gender madness happening in America, then he's on your radar.

1:05:47He is demonic in his push to trans children. I mean, truly, it's this guy is evil in in the way he's pushed for laws to make California a sanctuary state so that minors can move there and trans themselves over parental objections. He's openly gay and is like very bizarre with it. I'm sorry. I know a lot of gay men who are not like openly into the bondage and pushing these bizarre open displays of perversion. He he's one of the gays that makes people associate perversion with gay men. And it's unfair. I know a lot of amazing gay men who are not perverted, not weird, normal American patriots who behave privately in a way that floats their boat, but don't want you to look at it or think about it or put it on display at all.

1:06:45Scott Wiener is the opposite of those guys. And he's disgusting. It's not enough for him to live his own perversions. He's got to bring it to children who may be struggling with gender dysphoria nationwide, which is why I can't stand him. And he's running for Nancy Pelosi's seat. I didn't realize Pelosi had endorsed his opponent. There's another very progressive Democrat running against him. Those two would have both advanced to the general in November. And this other woman could potentially beat him, which is kind of exciting. She's pulling behind him, but maybe not for long. I don't know. So of all things, I mean, he's been hoisted on his own petard, Stu, because you live by the sword, die by the sword.

1:07:30You create the Frankenstein monster. And when it turns around to try to get you, you have no one to complain to. And this guy's been all in on every woke agenda item the left has served up over the past few years. Except one sort of. The left, as we know, has turned hard on Israel. And they've turned so hard on Israel that some faction of the left actually is anti-Semitic. You know, I object to the conflation of those two things. You can be very anti-Israel and its government and BB and what they've been doing to get us into wars, etc., and still have nothing but love in your heart for American Jews.

1:08:13I see them as so distinct. But there is a faction that doesn't. It's not entirely on the left, to be fair. But there is a faction that conflates the two and can't stand either. and Scott Wiener ran smack dab into that faction over the weekend when he went to some pride event. It was like pride Shabbat or Shabbat pride. I don't know. It was like Jews and pride all in one. And that's what he is. He's Jewish and prideful because he's never seen the rainbow he doesn't want to wear or shove on you. And the pro-Palestinian crowd who are also this group confronting him, pro-trans, which makes no sense, I grant you, none whatsoever, but whatever.

1:08:58Again, these are not our rules. This is these weird leftists who are like, you got to be in favor of every oppressed group. And even if they, you know, what the one wants to kill the other half, they get in Scott Wiener's face to the point where I almost felt bad for him. Even I almost felt bad for him. And then I remembered, stop, stop, stop, snap out of it. It's Scott Wiener. Here's how that went. Scott, I think your legislation on trans issues and your legislation specifically protecting queers on the sex offender registry is fantastic. The genocide in Gaza, and I think your policy on the genocide in Gaza is terrible.

1:09:43I think you do not belong here. I think you do not belong here. We fucking hate you. You do not belong here Scott anymore. It sucks because you've been wonderful. You've been wonderful for trans people and you've been terrible. And you've been terrible. You've been terrible. You've been terrible on Gaza. It breaks my heart that someone who wrote good legislation for queers is so fucking terrible on Gaza. Scott, do you have anything to say? Do you have anything to say about Gaza? Say something. Redeem yourself. Do something. Scott, I want to like the person who has such good legislation on trans rights.

1:10:32You're a piece of shit. We fucking hate you. Scott, how could you betray queers? How could you oppress people? You stopped on queer the moment you started supporting Israel, you piece of shit.

1:10:51Stu, what do we make of poor Scott Wiener? It's funny because I had seen that video but hadn't heard all of it. And it's incredible. It's like this weird combination of compliments. Wonderful. You've been wonderful. You've done great things for our community. I love the legislation. I do pass. It's a really weird approach. In some ways, I really feel kind of bad laughing at it in that these people are horrible that are around him. absolutely horrible, horrible people who are doing this to this guy who, as I'm with you, I do not appreciate him or his politics or anything that he does. It's just funny to hear them compliment.

1:11:42It's like, your legislation is great! Your abs are wonderful! I can see that you really work out on a regular basis! Your style is quite nice! I like the tie you wore when you were shirtless! It's a very weird approach. It's very true. he's working himself up into a lather and it seems to me the guy yelling at him which we believe is named dimitri yakoshkin uh who goes by he they or whatever pronoun upsets you the most um is like playing to the crowd you know it's like as he gets snaps for being mean to wiener on the palestine thing he leans in like he uses that same energy to like attack him on the palestine thing but yeah He's got to point out he's been.

1:12:29So it is a question for somebody like that. Like, what's your highest prong on your woke ladder? Is it Palestine or is it gay and trans? Because let's be honest, those two things don't they don't work together no matter no matter where you are in the world. You can't really be super pro-Palestine and super pro-gay. You kind of have to choose because everybody knows what's done to gays over in Palestine. It doesn't end well for them. So for this particular he slash they or whatever pronoun upsets us, I guess he's ranked Israel-Palestine over his he-they-ness because, you know, his he-they-ness would result in him getting shoved off a building over there.

1:13:11So it's a tough situation. And the reason he's mad at Wiener is because Wiener said he didn't think that Israel was committing a genocide in Palestine and then got booed at an event. And literally like that that same day, it was after a debate in January. He put out a statement claiming Israel is committing a genocide. OK, wait, we have the thought where he first disagreed before he then reversed himself. Watch. Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza?

1:13:48The others uphold the placard saying yes, but he doesn't. They're booing him. And literally, like right after he puts out the following statement. For those of you who saw the debate clip, I want to clarify that I do believe Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. To me, the Israeli government has tried to destroy Gaza and to push Palestinians out. And that qualifies as genocide. Enter his leftist progressive opponent, the one Pelosi backed, whose last name is Chan. And she responded, people getting killed didn't move him, but boos at a forum did. This is about politics, not principle. He's going to have a tough, this is a tough line to hoe, Stu Bergier.

1:14:37Very tough line. Yeah, and certainly there's going to be a lot of enjoyment in watching him squirm on that line over and over and over and over again. Because he has no idea what to even do here. And that's the thing. I think what people on the left don't really realize is that there's no limit here. There's no limit to, you'll never be woke enough, if you will, for some of these people. And, you know, when you look at that sort of problem that I think any rational person would have when you're trying to square the idea of being pro-Gaza and pro-Palestinian and, you know, honestly, quite honestly with these people pro-Hamas, right?

1:15:16When you're talking about that type of approach and trying to square that with being, you know, pro-LGBT, the idea that they're going to him and saying, oh, gosh, you didn't stand up for queers. How can you not be pro-Palestinian enough? Again, none of that makes any sense, but that is the point. The point is none of it has to make sense. It has nothing to do with logical reasoning. I think a lot of times conservatives, we get ourselves in trouble trying to have logical conversations and rational reasoning with people like this. That's not what they're here for. They're here to destroy. When you're talking about the people that will go up to a guy who's been going to every trans parade since 2004 he's been going to everything every single one of these things like the heart of the trans movement this dude yes he is and the fact that he has been out there doing this he's gone this far and still his he had to leave because he was scared i mean his own words uh for his own physical uh you know safety and the safety of his staff right after all that he's done to please, to pander, to go down every direction that the left wanted, he's still going to get this.

1:16:28And I hope there's a lesson to be learned for if there are any regular Democrats left in politics to understand what this is. These people will come for you. It's not just us. Yeah, sure, we're first in line, but they will come for you too. Yep. Totally. And if you're not okay, if you're not with them entirely on this new issue. He thought he had pandered. All one can pander on their signature issue in San Francisco. And he found out the hard way. There's a new signature issue. And if you are running for office as a Democrat, you have to be against Israel. I mean, you do. You must be. Or you get the Scott Wiener treatment.

1:17:08Look what happened to him when he went to the parade. You know, Jews wrapping up with a bang, Stu Bergara. They saved all their most outlandish pride parades until the end of the month for some reason, because we've got tape out of New York City that's also abhorrent. But here is, out in San Francisco, the pride parade. And look what happened to him there. Got chased out. Hey, bro. Hey, leave. You gotta get the fuck out of my head, bro. I'm sorry. This is at a restaurant. You only know what it is. We ain't getting to genocide. You think you're gonna come to my neighborhood, bro? You fucked up.

1:17:37You fucked up. It's gonna be a problem. There's innocent children being killed in Palestine. You're going to come here like it's good. But you're pushing that genocidal agenda as a Zionist, bro. Free Palestine. Say free Palestine right now on camera, dog. Say it. 2026. I don't need to talk about none of that shit. I'm talking to him. This is a mission district. You should be a saint. You have no saint come to my community. This is a mission district, homie. Free Palestine, bro. Okay, so Rich Lowry wrote a great piece on this. that it's on NR that reads, is Scott Wiener still queer? Because the one guy's like, you're not queer anymore unless you support Palestine.

1:18:18And he writes this. He's been subjected to the worst struggle session style public humiliations since those of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Wiener, who has been accosted at a bar, that's the film we just saw, and at a trans march, doesn't respond to the harassment. Instead, he stays silent and looks at his assailants with sad eyes. That's right. But he writes as follows. Wiener clearly knows that his interlocutors are lunatics, but realizes he can't make a wrong move or say the wrong thing in reply, lest he put his career at risk. because now the issue of Gaza has taken a place at the ideological core of the left, and he does not know how to handle it still.

1:19:06Yeah, I mean, he was right on the issue of the day every other time in his career, and he celebrated other people, I'm sure, that were dealt with dismissively or worse when they had the wrong opinion on whether it was trans issues or gay issues or whatever the issue of the day was a few months ago. So now that Israel's the issue of the day, and again, what did he do? His approach to all these incidents is just standing there, as Rich Lowry writes, with puppy dog eyes, which is a great example. It is what he does there, and he's terrified to do anything wrong. But all of this started with him sitting there as well with just sad puppy dog eyes not putting up a sign accusing Israel of genocide.

1:19:52So, you know, all of this is sort of like it's going to build upon itself. And you can tell that these words don't really mean anything. It's about the anger. It's about the movement. You know, like when he's saying you're not queer anymore. Well, does the word queer have a definition? I mean, because from everything I've ever understood about it, it had nothing to do with what your position on Israel is. It's a totally different topic that has other words that are descriptive. We have a language that uses words to describe certain events. Queer was not had anything to do with what was going on in Israel, but they just use these terms.

1:20:27And basically what it means is bad, right? You're bad. You're a bad person. Let me let me let me answer that, because Rich gets into that, too. It wasn't the guy in the bar that yelled that it was somebody at the pride parade and they yelled, you stop being queer the moment you started supporting Israel, you piece of shit. And this is what Rich posits. It's weaners, tormentors surely conceive of queerness as a revolt against an oppressive order. I think that's right. And think of Hamas in the same way. In this scheme, Israel is Western, white and settler colonialist, making it as bad as the gender binary.

1:21:07So for them, it's not about it's not actually about the genocide being committed in Gaza. It's about the races of the various participants in the Middle East and the fact that he's a white man and he's siding with white people in Israel over the poor, oppressed Palestinians. It's not it has nothing to do so much with what Israel's actually doing. You know, it's like those people who are on 10 eight were declaring it a genocide. It's like, wait a minute. They barely started defending themselves and it's already a genocide. And we're celebrating the taking of Israeli hostages. Like those people had a different agenda, saw the whole conflict or a racial lens and they're back and they're they're holding receipts on Scott Wiener, who has exactly the same worldview on every issue other than this one.

1:21:59So it's wonderful. I love watching him have to face the consequences of his weird, disgusting, ugly, pernicious worldview. I mean, it's always entertaining when the left eats its own, and they will continue to do this. You know, I mean, it's like there is a momentum, I think, in the party, generally speaking. There's a, you know, the Hamas wing of the party, if you will, that is growing and growing and growing in its intensity. You know, going to an event on 10-8, the day after the massacre started and accusing them of genocide, is completely insane. but it is a nice way to get a Zoran Mamdani endorsement.

1:22:41It's certainly a nice way right now to play into the actual energy in the party, which turns from time to time. I mean, I've been doing this long enough, Megan, to remember when the attack on the right was that we were all anti-Semites. That's all gone now. And all the people that were supporting that those types of attacks are now on the wrong side of them because they won't say they won't deal in the world of compelled speech, which, by the way, is completely unconstitutional to say free Palestine when you're at a coffee shop. This is crazy. Right. Stu, that moment is like so reminiscent of the BLMers, right?

1:23:21Like, say it, lift your fist and say it. Free Palestine, free Palestine. And, you know, he wasn't going to do it. He wasn't going to go that far. He was just still with the sad eyes campaign. But you're right. I mean, this is that's what's so satisfying about it, frankly, is we were all subjected to this back in 2020 on the race thing. And now he's getting subjected to it. Notwithstanding all of his far left wing bona fides, he couldn't save himself. The mob eventually turned on him too. Yeah, I think his best answer to this right now is to just say in all of these incidents around that we've been watching is that he had his AirPods in and was listening to music and didn't hear.

1:24:03That's why he just kept staring blankly at them. I don't know what else he could do. There's no way to win. Sad eyes. Yeah, there's no way to win with these people because they are here to destroy. But he's begging. Oh, yeah. Wait, listen. Listen to what he said. He put out a statement. Listen to the begging. Okay, it's like, but I'm woke. I'm woke. Look at all the stuff I've done. I'll just give you a few highlights. Last night, I attended a trans march as I've done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004. I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the president.

1:24:40He's hitting it all right wing extremists. The president is bad. I've been going for 22 years. Trans siblings say it all like I he's like, I can pander with the best of them. Don't turn on me. As I walk through Dolores Park to participate in a trans led pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, A group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, began harassing me verbally, physically, including physical contact. They made statements about my Israeli handlers, among many other inaccurate, extreme and vile statements. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I have no objection to anyone disagreeing with me.

1:25:12Blah, blah, blah. But when oppression and disagreement translate to harassment, including cornering me, touching me or trying to physically bully me out at a public event, that crosses a line. So he's got to let you know, like, I am a leader in this movement. I can outwoke anybody. Go turn your ire on somebody else. There's lots of people you could target besides me. I've been an ally is basically what he's saying. And they are not having it. And by the way, here's one of the things, Stu. he when a um coffee shop called phil's philz in san francisco decided to stop showing pride flags in their store they decided that they wanted to create a quote more consistent inclusive experience like for the heteros and he they didn't want the pride flag everywhere did scott wiener say i get it.

1:26:10Let's be tolerant. Let's allow everybody to express. No, look at him. He showed up there after he had successfully bullied them into reversing the decision. And this is what he looked like. Sat nine. Phil's just announced that the pride flags are going back into Phil's locations. This is a huge win for the community. It's amazing. And a huge thanks to all of the Phil's baristas who advocated and who fought for our community. Thank you. waving a pride flag he's wearing a pride boa he's wrapped in a pride umbrella thank you standing in front of the establishment interacting with the customers going in he's he's fine fine with confrontational advocacy as long as he's not on the receiving end of it right yeah you know i would legitimately have some sympathy for him um because nobody should be treated the way he was treated at that park.

1:27:09That should not happen to people in the United States of America. It's just hard to have any sympathy for a guy when he's been on the other side of this over and over and over again. If he was one of the people who were saying something like, hey, look, we all have different views. If a private business in a free society decides that they don't want to hang up a certain color flag, like, hey, look, you can choose whether to go there or not. You don't have to go there. You can go to another place that has the flags up if If you're looking for a particular gay coffee, you can do that. I mean, I kind of think of coffee as not really having a sexual orientation, but whatever.

1:27:46If you really want a gay Danish, you can go find it somewhere in the city, I am sure of it. If he had that approach, I'd have a lot more sympathy for him. But he's just finding himself the victim of something that he has encouraged over the past 20 years. and that doesn't make what happened to him right but it does make it a little bit more uh more difficult to you know i got a lot of things i got to worry about in my life megan i've got kids who were growing up i've got we all got bills to pay we got they got family issues to deal with i it there's only so many things i can care about on a day-to-day basis and it's really hard to get worked up over scott weiner getting yelled at yeah it really is especially because he's never seen a child, he doesn't want to help trans.

1:28:31I mean, he is fine with genital mutilation, the life-changing events that happen to minors when they make this decision, in air quotes, because they can't possibly, to sterilize themselves and eliminate all sexual pleasure before they've even hit puberty, which is what happens when you go from puberty blockers to cross-sex hormones, which he knows, he knows very well. He doesn't care. It's very hard to see him as anything other than a villain. Not for in-your-face confrontations, but, you know, live by the sword. Again, get harassed by the sword. That's what happened to Scott Wiener that day. All right, we're going to take a break.

1:29:08We're going to come back more with Stu Breguier on the opposite side of this. Don't go away.

1:32:46Megyn Kelly channel, Sirius XM 111, and on the Sirius XM app.

1:32:54Stupor Gear, host of Predictable, is back with me now. So Stu, Supergirl has opened at the movie theater well below expectations because its star, Millie Alcock, is as loathsome as the girl who played in Snow White and seems to appreciate women in exactly the same way as that other gal did and is receiving similar backlash. That plus we're over the forced upon us girl boss era. It's not authentic. It's not organic. We're no longer buying it. Like it's not that women can't be empowered and fierce and all the great things. It's just stop forcing it on us in the form of like super girl. This woman looks, if she's five foot, it's a lot.

1:33:42Online, they say she's five, five challenge. If she's five, one, it's a miracle. She's very weirdly small and they want us to believe she's this fierce, super. No, she was in game of Thrones. She was very weird looking and she created problems for herself. Okay. First she was in game of Thrones and surely thereafter, she gave a vanity fair interview. And she said that experience definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on. We've become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women's bodies. I can't really stop them. I can only be myself.

1:34:20Okay, you are in light porn. Game of Thrones is light. It's soft porn. Who does she think she's kidding? I don't remember her being naked, but literally almost every other woman was. Full frontal nudity and sex scenes that you couldn't get away with showing on Cinemax these days, but somehow they aired on HBO. Then she goes on and she gets upset because there has been some pushback against her talking about sexism and superheroes. People don't want to hear it. And she said something like, okay, people got so angry. I was like, you're just proving my point. You're proving my point. She added she was happy to have pissed off the right people, including those who identify as a Christian and a dad, she said, quote, and it's from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts or someone's name and then data for Christian, which is hilarious to me.

1:35:16Here's one more sampling of how she sounds while she's giving these interviews. 37. I have many queer friends. So honestly, I'm kind of on it. I'm on it that that's happening. But I think because she doesn't live inside the binary of what we think a woman should be, that that is what makes her so special and so exciting and so new. So now the movie is tanking. They expected that they said that they thought it would open at 50 million. It's opening weekend, which they said was already a disappointment. And it didn't even get there. It was 38 million. The movie cost one hundred and seventy million to make.

1:35:56it uh got a b minus grade in cinema score it got a rotten rating from review aggregation over at rotten tomatoes um and so neither the critics liked it nor the audience liked it and she's taking a beating and it's not pulling in money so you tell me why you think this is all happening you know it's she said oh well this is uh it's hilarious that i'm having to deal with well this is hilarious to us like watching this movie flop like this is really what's hilarious because you know she you don't need to go down these roads you don't need to go down these roads the movie cost 178 million dollars or whatever it was to make remember too that's only that's going to be split with the theaters to just earn that back you'd need to make it but 350 plus million dollars that doesn't include the marketing which they dumped on top of this as well tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing this this movie is going to be an absolute catastrophe.

1:36:5150 million would have already been a catastrophe. And as much as I want it to be solely about how annoying she is, and how she's going out there and saying all these things, I do think that's a big part of it. But it's also just like we're a merit-based society at some level. It's hard for us to shake that. I think the left really wants us to shake it. I think that is what kind of ties all these conversations we've had today together. in that Scott Wiener is trying to make a merit-based argument. I've been super woke. You should give me a pass on this stuff. But that's not what it's about. The left doesn't believe in merit.

1:37:27They believe that you should go see this movie because she's a woman. That's not how people make decisions about their entertainment. There are movies where women absolutely kick ass and are great. Zero Dark Thirty. Zero Dark Thirty is an awesome example of that. That's a great movie. Another one that I love from the past 10 to 15 years, I remember what year it came out, is a movie called Atomic Blonde, where she is absolutely kicking everybody. She's a spy. It's not a superhero movie, but in a way it kind of is. She's doing things that are over the top that a tiny woman with her strength would probably not be able to do, just kicking 300-pound guy's butts all over the place.

1:38:07But it's entertaining and a really well-done movie. and even if she came out during the press for that movie and was talking about things that were woke, it still would probably be a good movie. Supergirl, if it was, I mean, Wicked was like this, right? There was some of this woke stuff around Wicked. I have no interest and did not see Wicked to be clear, but it still did a lot of money at the box office. You can overcome these things if you put out a good product, but often a lot of times it's like an excuse. hey, we have this really crappy movie with a really crappy script with an actress that people don't really like, and it's failed.

1:38:48So how do we blame the audience for that? We're not going to take any responsibility ourselves. Let's blame the average people, just like in the Haitian situation we were just talking about. Let's blame them. They're racist. It's the same story. Let me give you this. New York Times, box office analyst note on Sunday, female-led superhero movies have been rejected almost uniformly over the past five years or so, perhaps reflecting a resurgent misogyny among the core fan base, which is largely male. So now the people who like superhero movies are misogynists if they reject the weird short girl with the very strange look as their latest girl boss and not something like this.

1:39:32Listen to South 35. This is her. You heard from the fans specifically from the LGBT community about how they've been able to relate to your character. I've just had a few people ask me about about her and about her because it's Pride Month and all that. And I think that she's a really great representation of what a modern woman can be. She can be strong. She can be tough. She can be messy. And I love how this film doesn't center around any sort of love. You know, It doesn't center around romance or anything like that at all. And she is such resilience that I think that that community is a community that is so, so resilient.

1:40:08And they can really relate to that in that. And I'm really honored that they can connect with her. Okay. So you can't center around a love relationship, Stu, because that would be offensive. And obviously disempowering. If you are in a love relationship with a man as a woman, it's disempowering to your superhero narrative. F that. virtually every woman on earth who's straight would love to connect with a man, form a love relationship and be buoyed up by it, not diminished, which is a Hollywood weird woke message. Yeah. I mean, it's very human, right? What you're describing is the human experience for almost everyone who's ever lived, right?

1:40:50That's supposed to be pretty understandable. And like, when you look at something like this, right? Supergirl is not a core character in these worlds. I mean, I'm not a superhero movie fan, but this is not Batman or Superman. These are not... Supergirl was always sort of a side character. I can't even remember that. Yeah, I kind of maybe remember the character. Wonder Woman, yes. And Wonder Woman did hundreds of millions of dollars. You know, it's just like The left in Hollywood wants this sort of God-given right to be able to churn out crappy superhero movies and collect hundreds of millions of dollars at a whim.

1:41:31Like, I'm sorry. We're stuck giving our money to the government every April. We're stuck doing that. Unfortunately, it's legally required. As of this moment, it is not legally required for me to see your slop that you're just churning out year after year after year. They wound up lucking into this decade and a half run where they could basically put a cape on anything and just collect nine figures. It's over. It's over. Put some effort into it. Make good movies, which, again, I didn't see the Superman movie that they just released. Got decent reviews. People seem to have liked it. And again, they collected hundreds of millions of dollars.

1:42:10Put the most minor amount of effort into it. And I don't know. Maybe have a conversation before the contract is signed. And say, look, we want to hire you for this movie. However, if you can't just get through the press junket without turning into Scott Wiener, just give us that promise as a business person. If we want this to be successful, I'm sure the studio would have loved to make five Supergirl movies. I'm sure they would have loved to just cash in over and over and over again. And if they put a good movie together, and in addition to that, because that's an important component, and have a people who's just not going to offend half the audience by being insane, you know, this is a pretty good business.

1:42:59Listen to SOT 36. One more. There's been a lot of discussion online about Tara's queerness in the comics. Was that something that you explored when you were preparing for the role? It wasn't, but in honor of Pride Month, as I'm getting all these questions, I don't know. I think that what makes this film so beautiful is that it's not centered around a man. It's not centered around love and if anything. But we'll see. I don't really know, but I don't know. I don't know. It's great. She'd probably go both ways.

1:43:34She'd probably go both ways. She's got to let us know that her character is queer. and by the way, if you want to make young men love it, pick somebody who's really hot and into men and is telegraphing to the audience like, I like you. I don't hate your guts as opposed to this woman who's like, thank God it's not centered on a man. And I bet you she's queer. Yeah. I mean, that would be really, these are not like, you know, rocket science level discussions here. You're trying to mass market to a group of people. I mean, comic book movies, superhero movies, you have a largely male audience. If you're going to put someone in there, you know, someone that, forget the word attractive when we're talking about sexuality, just someone who attracts them, right?

1:44:21Someone who is playing into the things that they're interested in. That's all you have to do. The bar is really, really low for this stuff. But, you know, as we've seen with Hollywood over the years, they try to go under it every given opportunity and bash their head into the bar. There's no reason to do that. Make it easy on yourselves. You look at Gal Gadot. Yes. Okay. I think men are going to like that. And they did. You look at this strange little person with the weird teeth. It's like, and then she's out there lecturing them on how she hates male centered relationships. And this character may be queer and a girl boss.

1:44:56What did they think was going to happen? They should have contacted Stu Braguer. he would have told them, it's predictable. Great to see you, my friend. We're back tomorrow with those two remaining major SCOTUS cases. We'll see you then. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
