Lefties Losing It: Celebs take a stand against cancel culture

It's time for Lefty's Losing It. Time to check in with former First Lady, the perpetually miserable Michelle Obama. Here she again reflects on her time at the White House. It was so awful having a glam team, making you look your absolute best every single day.

What an imposition.

Every day, every time I was up as we called it. You know, I was up for the public. Yes. And the days were long. So as you mentioned, to save time. Yes. You know, I know having a glam

you serious? Try just about every woman. Is Michelle Obama so out of touch that she thinks we're all getting designer gear, custom made clothing, perfectly tailored to our measurements? She is absolutely kidding herself. Now get ready folks, a new gender identity has just dropped. 150 isn't enough, we need more.

Let's hear what it means to be sapphic. Here is non-binary actor Robin Holdaway and her girlfriend to explain. See if you can understand any of this.

Sapphic, much like any identity term, can mean a lot of different things to different people. Broadly speaking, it means people who are not men but generally femme in some way, who are also attracted to people who are not men and femme in some some way, who are also attracted to people who are not men and femme in some way. The idea of this I think is to be a little bit broader and more encompassing than some people might feel other labels are. Personally I think there's space in a lot of labels for this, but for example it's to encompass people

who are attracted to non-binary people who might present in different ways.

with your insufferable self-importance.

Only the thing is that this is actually quite an interesting part of how sapphic operates as a term is that this is Robin, they are AFAB, i.e. they are female at birth and they are actually quite musk presenting in a lot of ways which means that I often have a brief a way underneath the rest, there's sort of female plumbing because it's completely irrelevant to how I perceive them.

I very regularly forget that we're in a queer relationship.

self-delighted, luxury beliefs of people divorced from reality. Now here's an antidote to that craziness. Here is a lady called Kristen Hawkins who has no time for such nonsense.

We have folks who have wombs but are not women, like trans people, genderqueer folks. Why do you keep saying women when this issue affects more than women? Because there are two genders, male and female.

There aren't. I am non-binary. I have a friend who is intersex. This issue affects more than

No, no, no, no, no. Next question.

Now to Brian Cranston who is now a psychiatrist as well as being a daft actor who, well, sounds a bit like a simpleton

I really don't. I think he's very good at a specific thing and that is branding himself.

A narcissist, he sounds like a teenage girl going through his first breakup, does our Brian. But this is the guy who is, well, certainly old enough to know better and old enough to stop embarrassing himself but back in 2016, he vowed to flee the United States

if Donald Trump became president. The boy who cried wolf. Now, Nikki Glaser is a funny gal. She may have a weird Taylor Swift obsession, little odd for a 41-year-old woman, but she's a comic and the only thing

I want my comics to be is funny. And Nikki is funny. human trafficking and pedophilia. Check out this hot mess on Saturday Night Live.

I mean, it's hard even being an aunt for me. I was staying at my sister's house recently, and at one point I was like, I'm gonna go take a shower. And my nephew comes running in, and he's like, I wanna take a shower with you,

He's 18. I'm like, what's going on with his voice? okay, that's fine for you guys, but are you really okay with, like, an adult showering with your child? Like, maybe it's okay if you, like, come and supervise.

And she was like, why? And I was like, And I was like, no, I would never, that's disgusting. But that's what I'd say if I was gonna.

You know, like they don't trust anyone.

I don't even trust myself, I don't wanna go in there. How do you become a pedophile? You don't get to choose what you're into, dude. What if it's one of those things you don't know you like till you get in there and you're like, well, this is my thing.

And then it opens up a part of my brain.

No, no, no.

Yep. I wish I could unsee that too. But there were signs with Nikki. I'm not sure if it's TDS or just the paranoia that self-delighted lefties suffer from, but

if what I said gets recorded and sent out, like, I could maybe not get let back into the country.

Now, do you think there was any pushback on that insane assertion from the Time magazine interviewer? Of course not. Nikki was allowed to explore her paranoid fantasies

or that I couldn't be put on some kind of list because of some story I reposted that was... I mean you look at other places that have dictators. Like, you're not allowed to say bad things about them past, before they became a dictator or after.

She's so desperate to be an oppressed victim, pathetic. Now let's have a look at a couple of brave celebrities finally taking a stand against the left's cancel culture. Here we've got two A-listers taking a stand against those trying to force them to apologise when they've done nothing wrong. and then explaining to the triggered interviewer

that people are entitled to their opinions.

I saw your voice in Professor Umbridge in the new Harry Potter audiobooks. I was wondering, are you aware that some fans are calling for a boycott, giving JK Rowling's ongoing campaign against trans people?

I was not aware of that, no. I'm very sorry. You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now. We're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions.

So I hope that we can all find respect.

She's not very sorry at all. That laughs at it all. And here is Sydney Sweeney shutting down an attempt to shame her for that American Eagle commercial.

The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority. Like that was kind of like the criticism, broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this,

I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically.

I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear.

Hopefully it starts a trend with Hollywood stars who get spooked by leftist media and activists to apologize when they've done nothing wrong. She just had a look of disdain on her face and

moved the interviewer along. No I mean Sydney Sweeney handled it perfectly and you know there was something just kind of like almost hypnotizing about the interview just the way that the interviewer was trying to goad Sydney into this question and how the interviewer was trying to goad Sidney into this question and how the interviewer was almost kind of nervous to ask it as if it was gonna be like this gotcha moment.

And I just think Sidney was just being herself. And you know, there's other aspects of this interview where Sidney Sweeney to me knows that she's hot. She knows that she's cool. And that's what a real cool person acts like. And they try to get her,

they kind of try to make her political and she handled it really well.

Absolutely, she just seems uninterested in the politics of it. I mean, I genuinely don't know what her politics, where her politics is. I don't really care. She's an actress. I don't care how she votes or triggered the left but really for no reason at all. It was a jeans commercial for the love of God. Now another Hollywood A-lister, Jennifer

Lawrence, has said this to the New York Times. Lulu Garcia Navarro. In the first Trump administration, you

know, you had a lot to say. I'm curious how you feel about talking out now? I

don't really know if I should. I think like the first Trump people vote for.

artist. It looks like she's just, I don't know, reading the room. isn't really there, it just annoys people.

And you're talking about this topic earlier, but the Israel-Palestine argument in Hollywood is a very touchy situation. So a lot of actors are now getting banned for being pro-Palestine. So really it does not benefit an actor or actress

to really even get political whatsoever. But I have to give Jennifer Lawrence her credit because even though these actors are great at impersonating other people and playing characters, a lot of times they're not very self-aware, they're not very humble.

And it seems like she's gotten the point that it doesn't really change the temperature of the room or help her narrative by trying to be political or get her political point across. So I kind of like that you're just going to try to keep it about the art and that's really what it should be at the end of the day or if you have a political viewpoint

maybe express it through that are and you don't have to be like an open book you don't have to be a biography you kind of just let the R before itself And I think that's what we expect from these artists and actresses and actors.

Absolutely. I don't know how my plumber votes. I don't know how the local baker votes. I don't care. I mean, I'm this absolute desire to air your politics just because you happen to be an actor

and have to have a profile. but they're slow learners. Now, I played a clip of Nikki Glaser earlier. Her Saturday night live work was not her best. I think she is actually genuinely funny, but this monologue has copped all sorts of criticism.

How do you see it, Alex? People being too harsh. It's a hard gig to stand there for seven, eight minutes and deliver a monologue.

No, and on top of that, Nikki Glaser is very funny and she is attractive and her political viewpoints are different than mine, but I thought that Jeffrey Epstein, you know, island Manhattan joke was actually kind of funny. I mean, I know that it didn't really, you know,

I guess it wasn't received very well. But Rita, I go to a lot of these protests and I'm telling you both sides want more information And, you know, as a comedian, you have to take chances. So even though, you know, ideologically, I'm not probably aligned with Nikki 100%, by any means, I got to give her credit for going up there and actually taking a

chance, especially on NBC, because that is, you know, a network television channel that, you know, they are very buttoned up. So I actually do like and respect her for pushing the boundaries a little bit. So I can't really critique her too

where all the cast and the guest host all mingle and clown around whilst the credits roll. No one really went up to her. So I wonder if there was some, I don't know, some conflict behind the scenes. Now, before you go,

Donald Trump was booed by Washington commander fans, but no surprise to anybody, but it did not stop him from entering the commentary box and calling the game.

Your first-string quarterback has the potential I think to be a great quarterback. He's got to stop the injuries somehow and let's see we have a very important I think is a very important couple of plays here we go all right seven second and seven let's see what happens

He's calling play-by-play there almost Alex as Greg Gutfeld says we don't deserve him

No sometimes we don't he's one of the most entertaining guys in the world and you know there's a little known conspiracy this is real you know a lot's a little known conspiracy. This is real. You know, a lot of people think that Donald Trump ran for president just because of his rivalry with Obama. But actually, you know, he tried to buy the Buffalo Bills and a lot of these powerful

billionaire NFL owners tried to block him out of it. that's a little known conspiracy.

Thank you for that tidbit, Alex Stein. Now get ready to cringe. Here is a silly woman, Stephanie Miller, bowing down and kissing the feet of radical Democrat, Jasmine Crockett. It's a humiliating display but

she's proud of it.

Can you confirm that I just kissed your sneakers?

This is true.

She's on camera saying she'll do the radio. I am. I am. We're doing it. Future senator of the great state of Texas. I'm going to miss Ted Cruz so much. He's so likeable.

We're talking about Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. What does it tell us?

It's quite stark and quite divided, like direly divided. I was looking up historically, and up until just before Bill Clinton, it was pretty 50-50, which was how women voted for Democrats versus Republicans in relation to men. And then after that, sort of the steady decline,

about 10 to 15 points, women always vote Democrat. And then if you double-click after that, through the steady decline, about 10 to 15 points, women always vote Democrat. The uneducated women, college-educated, very heavy, 60 percent Democrat. And single women, that's the issue Jesse Kelly calls this, the beating heart, he adds on That's how they're voting. And so if Republicans want to win in the near term, the men have to vote more because that's the other thing. Women are a little bit larger part of the electorate. About 53 percent of women vote. They're more

organized. They get themselves to the polls or mail in their ballots. And then longer term, encouraging marriage because married women still in the majority, 55% vote for Republicans. The whole perspective changes when you're married and have children.

Absolutely, and that's what's so stark because I think it was the most recent presidential election you were looking at how married men voted, unmarried men, married women that were all majority Republican, but by small percentages Republican.

And then you had the unmarried women, which were by huge margin Democrat. And that was what really stood out. It's just fascinating to look at those patterns. But let's talk about the BBC. Things are going from bad to worse

for the taxpayer fundedfunded broadcaster. They aired that deliberately doctored footage of Donald Trump, and now he's seeking to hold the BBC responsible for what he's labelled false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements. He's given the BBC a Friday deadline kosher

to make things right, or he's going to launch a billion dollar lawsuit and we're talking about a billion US dollars yeah? This is really

something because it is so egregious in terms of what that cut up did and how they were basically stitching together things to suggest that he was actually calling an insurrection and it's interesting because Trump is not shy to use litigation as one of the tools in his arsenal he He's sued in his personal capacity, civil lawsuits, various American outlets, and always the suits are above a billion,

billion, two billion. I think the CBS suit was 20 billion was the suit, even though they settled for 16. do the big ask and then you may settle where you settle. All the funding's going to the beautiful ballroom or his library, which is kind of funny. This would be the first time he would sue a foreign outlet. I don't think that has happened.

The libel laws are not as protective of the press There's a lower bar, and the burden of proof would be on them, which is different from the US. So there's a high chance that they would fear that. And this is, I think, at a gigantic scale beyond that, because they're alleging that the sitting US president

incited an insurrection. That's basically what they did. So this is not gonna end well for them.

No, and they aired this a week before the election, for the press, and Trump has had a remarkable success with securing significant payouts from multiple media outlets in the US. I didn't know he was putting all the money towards the ballroom and the library.

That's hilarious.

I think it's also a PR thing that he's not taking it to line his own pockets, but he's trying to divert it to something for the library. That's hilarious. I think it's also a PR thing that he's not taking it to line his own pockets, but he's trying to divert it to something for the people. And I think he's tracking it about 100 million so far in payments he's received.

That's not bad. Now the shutdown is over. The Democrats did fall, but not until after the elections that we spoke about in Virginia, New Jersey Jersey and New York City. How do you see this shutdown saga? It was the longest in US history.

41 days. The second longest was in Trump's first term. I'm sure that's not a coincidence. 35 days. I see it as two things. One is performative. All of politics is performative. Everybody's playing a part.

Even this alleged civil war that's going on That's my view. And also, it is amiss that they very conveniently decided to end it right after the election, when Republicans got trounced. I don't think this would have made a big difference, because Republicans really got trounced, and I don't think the outcome would have been any different. But maybe on the margins, it played a bit of a role, because it makes the party in power look bad.

The second thing is it's temporary. So it's only until the 30th of January. So in very short order, after Christmas, we're going to be back here again. And another shutdown could very well be looming. And that's why this whole discussion about whether or not

to abolish the filibuster is facing growing calls. A lot of people want that. It could lead to short-term gain with long-term pain. It's one view for the Republicans. The other view is you're in power now. You may not be in power for much longer. And I think we're gonna see that debate continue to bubble

because the shutdown saga is gonna be back again

on the front pages February 1st. Well, did they achieve what they wanted to? Did they get a bump going into these elections? Is it something that they will look back on and say, yep, it served a purpose and we can expect to see it again?

I think a little bit on the margins. Just the margins were so high though of a lesser margin. I don't see the outcome being fundamentally different, because it does make the Republicans look bad. And the other problem is, the sticking point in this And it's so crazy because that was decades ago when Obamacare was put into place, and now these subsidies are going to expire, and the average person doesn't know all this

and won't pin the blame on Obama, who's been out of office for multiple terms. It will get hung around Trump's neck, so in that sense you could say that the Democrats did succeed a little bit, but they've also paid a price and there's a bit of a civil war in their own party.

Now we're gonna talk about the division within the conservative ranks in the US, but the Democrats have got divisions as well. And more over this shutdown, the eight Democrats Senate caucus defectors for not stopping them. So there are Democrats, some of the more radical ones

who seem to be leading the party these days, saying this was a capitulation, we

should have kept going. Yes and most of those are from purple, moderate states to even red states, where there's somehow a Democrat in power, so they're a little bit, in terms of their personal political situation, more vulnerable.

But the Chuck Schumer thing is interesting because he wasn't able to whip them all into place. And on a personal level, many people are speculating that at

And that's very interesting, where she is on the rise in some way He's ostensibly of kind of the old guard, Nancy Pelosi retired, et cetera. So that's going to be very interesting. And everybody's watching if he's going to just

to increase her own personal wealth You look at what her salary was during that period and how her net wealth or net asset position has increased. It is quite remarkable. So if she can have any stock tips she wants to impart, I will be following them very religiously.

She's Warren Buffett trapped in the body of a Congresswoman. That's what I say.

Absolutely. Now, before you go, there is these deep divisions forming within conservative ranks. You've got the likes of Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Matt Walsh on the one side, and then you've got Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and others on the other.

There's all sorts of calls to disavow certain people, to not platform them, a form of, really, cancel culture that you thought was something that the left specialised in. How do you see that? And is it just going to hold back the Republicans

going into the midterms

It's not helpful and Republicans always were famous for having this circular firing squad, they used to say, and the Democrats say what you will, they're very united generally and they put on a united front, But maybe it was unavoidable

and this is the party that likes to debate issues and that leads to that. The root cause of it brewing for a long time there's a sharp divide between those two camps and then off the back of that I think censorship and free speech and all that hangs into and we shouldn't be canceling people who do that, and the other side says, no, that's against the principle of free speech.

So I think that's sort of the one-two punch of this issue, and it's going to be very interesting. is that the side against Israel, I would say the Tucker, Matt Walsh side of the camp. And so that is the side growing, and the side that favours Israel

is literally dying out of the electorate.

that the war is over, but certainly there were dramatic shifts in the public opinion towards Israel across the board. And with younger people, the shifts were enormous from memory, 40, 50 points.

So- In such a short period of time.

In a few years. So that is certainly something I think would be concerning a lot of people. But yeah, we'll keep watching that debate. Kershia Gaynor, thank you so much for your time. Kershia Gaynor, thank you so much for your time.

Thank you.
