Tucker Carlson said Ray Dalio is one of the world's smartest investors,
but more important, he's likely the wisest.
Make yourself read this book.
That book is how countries go broke, the big cycle.
In it, Dalio explains the mechanics behind big debt cycles,
and what they mean for countries with big and increasing debts like the U.S.
and what you should do to protect yourself.
You can find it wherever books are sold,
or read a five-minute summary of the book at economic principles.org.
Let's welcome tonight's guest.
He's so British, he refers to Fox Nation as the Colonies.
Host of Pierce Morgan, uncensored on Fox Nation, Pierce Morgan.
She's so wise that owls call her for career advice, author of the Social Justice Warrior Handbook, Lisa DePesquil.
The only thing older than his act is his wardrobe.
Host of Fox Across America, Jimmy Phila.
And like day old coffee, she's ice cold and bitter.
Fox News contributor, Cat, too.
Pierce, welcome to the show.
I feel like I just saw you.
You did just see me on the fire, but, you know, you're never on love of me, right?
That's true. I never have enough of peers.
Thank you.
Yes. I think that should be your motto.
No, you know what?
I have a feeling we're going to look back at this era as the way we looked at the 80s during that kind of like child molestation scare.
Remember, and there were all the daycare centers, that people are going to like, what were we thinking?
Is it as crazy as it is here over there?
Let's have a stock clinic that you mentioned is in London.
And the extraordinary thing.
But this is actually widespread with this whole woke world we now live in.
is that everybody knew this was wrong
what was going on in that clinic.
Everybody had a sense.
People were trying to get into it,
to report on it,
to expose what was happening
to these poor kids.
But anyone who tried to do that
was promptly branded transphobic.
You were a bigot.
If you didn't go along with this
and acquiesce to every part of it,
there was something wrong with you.
And it turned out, actually no,
everyone's suspicions were right.
Actually, what was going on in there
was what was wrong and had to change.
And this is the weapon that the woke brigade use, isn't it?
Is that whenever you raise, say, the transgender in sport debate,
when you see a six-foot-four-inch former male competing against women in a swimming pool
and beat them by 50 seconds, if you say, well, that's not fair, is it?
It's wrong.
It's unequal.
You're a bigot.
You're a transphobe.
And so it goes on.
It's the weaponizing of these issues makes it almost impossible to debate.
And anyone who tries to, JK Rowling and others who've tried to do.
offend women's rights in all this, or children's rights, as in the case of the Tavistock Clinic,
you become the weaponized person, you become the one who is attacked, when in fact, what you
just read was one of the bravest things I've heard on television in the world.
Now I'm scared.
Well, because finally, finally, someone's actually saying the truth about this stuff.
This is child abuse, what's been going on.
It's the job of adults to protect children, not to expose them to what has been going on.
It is crazy.
It's crazy.
It's crazy, Lisa, because I hate children, and here I am fighting for them.
I despise those monsters, but I'm speaking up.
You know what drives me crazy is the phrase puberty blockers?
For 300,000 years, we all went through puberty.
I think you should just go through it, right?
And then see what happens after.
But how can you put, it's like saying, you know, I'm going to put off growing hair, right?
It's not like delaying your driver's license.
At some point, you're going to have to do this stuff.
That's what I thought.
Well, now, what's interesting is there's so many things, you know, that's been brought up before that you need to be over 18 to do, like get a tattoo or get some other cosmetic surgery.
And, you know, there are rare cases when the parents can allow it.
But in this case, you know, there's tons of storytellers out there that I really wish would be more public.
I know that they have this obstacle in the media, but there's detransitioners.
There's feminists like J.K. Rowling who have a problem with this. There's gays. There's parents. There's lots of people that can tell their stories on this. And I agree with Pierce that your monologue was great.
Oh, I thank you. You know what? I like these kind of guests.
After getting all that abuse from Tyrus and Kat, it's nice to hear. Tough love.
Yeah, you know, I wish you would transition. It's something like appealing.
What do you make of this trend? Do you think of this trend? Do you think,
that finally like there's a flashlight being shown yeah no i think this is going to end
it a bunch of lawsuits and someone's going to make a courtroom drama called 12 angry them
that was actually a good joke come on man stick with me here is the scam of why this has been
going on from word one and we know this to be true there's two motives here one the clinics
make a ton of money off the surgery and ultimately the meds that come with having a lifelong patient
which in its own is barbaric and reckless.
Two is they're kind of manufacturing a new civil rights movement
where they're trying to advance all of their legislation
around anybody who opposes what we want
is going to spark a wave of suicides.
But we know it's not about the trans people
in their well-being.
Why? Because of our friend, Caitlin Jenner.
If you remember the Caitlin Jenner story,
she got on the cover of Vanity Fair day one.
They were like, she's beautiful.
Anyone who doesn't think so is a monster,
we're going to kill your dog.
We're going to docks your family.
Day two, ESPN Courage Award.
She's wonderful, she's brave.
Anybody who's not okay with this is a loser, they should be fired.
Day three, she goes, I'm a Republican.
They were like, fuck her, get her out of here.
Screw you, Bruce.
Wheaties gave me the shit.
I don't like you.
Yeah, yeah.
And there it went.
But you know this, I know this.
Everybody here knows this.
It's never been about tolerance or inclusion.
It's always about whether or not you're a Democrat.
And you can read further.
if you ask a black conservative or a female conservative,
who happens to be running for president,
none of the rules apply to those marginalized groups.
You just gave me a great idea.
Okay, we have men who identify as women
while holding onto their genitalia
and participating in sports.
What if you as a Republican or a conservative
transitioned into being a Democrat
while holding all of your beliefs?
Oh, that's lethal.
That makes some sense, but at the same,
Does it?
Kat, what do you think?
You can ignore everything I just said.
I did.
I don't know.
I mean, obviously, the way this happens is this is, like, the most contentious issue is the trans issue.
So I think with any contentious issue, the best thing to do is kind of take the contentious part out of it.
And if you just say in any kind of medical situation, if there is a treatment that can have lasting effects on a person, then you want to really be sure that that's what you want to do.
For example, you don't give someone chemo
if you're not sure if they have cancer or not
because chemo can have lasting effects.
So I feel like if you explain it like that to people,
they really, you have to agree.
There's no way to not agree.
That's a brilliant way of putting it.
Oh, I am glad I came back.
But if you do say that,
I wonder if you're working at one of these clinics,
they'd go, don't say that.
Because that makes too much sense.
But also, it comes back to this thing of self-identity, right?
This is the era we live in where you can identify whatever you want to be, okay?
Republican Democrat, a good example.
We just had a case in Scotland, quite unbelievable.
Oh, the rapist.
Have you done this story?
Yeah, we did this story.
Male rapist identifies female to get into women's prison.
Male rapist who was married to a woman for many years who said he's a total scam artist, gets convicted of raping two women.
And at his trial, he suddenly puts his hand up and says, oh, by the way, I'm called Eiler, I'm a woman.
You can't send me to a men's prison where he would be badly treated.
I want to go in a women's prison
where there are fresh targets for him to attack.
And he actually got into a woman's prison
pretending to be a woman.
The First Minister of Scotland,
Nicholas Sturgeon, just had to resign
over the furorre that this all caused.
But this is where limitless self-identity takes you
in a society.
They're supposed to have some societal rules.
There's no restrictions anymore.
Restrictions are actually bigoted.
Any kind of limits are racist.
Last word to you, Kat.
Did you have anything else you wanted to say?
I think I've pretty much covered, right?
Okay, good.
Excellent work there.
You can take the rest of this moment off.
Thank you.
All right, don't go anywhere.
We'll be right back.

Yeah, Don Lemon gets an HR warning, then returns to help CNN have a bad morning.
Lady hating numb school, Don Lemon is said to return to his low-rated morning show tomorrow.
After vacationing in Miami, that's him on the left. I'm over here.
But he proves criminals always return to the scene of the crime.
Nearly a week after the derogatory comments he made about women saw him get booted from the air.
In case you forgot, here's a clip of Donny Boy last week discussing
Nikki Haley's presidential qualifications.
Nikki Haley is in her prime.
Sorry.
A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.
Prime for what?
I think you need to qualify.
Are you talking about prime for like child?
During or are you talking about crime for being president?
The facts are, Google it.
Google it!
Wow, he's the only guy alive who can make Andrew Dice Clay seem like an enlightened feminist.
As part of his return, Lemon will reportedly be forced to undergo sensitivity training.
Oh, and then he'll have to wear a cone for a couple of weeks after they remove his testicles.
God, I want to see that.
I mean, his training.
But CNN is reportedly already testing a less offensive news show to replace him.
I believe we have a clip.
Good morning and welcome to wake up.
Dead. Today's top stories, the Easter Bunny gave me AIDS. Why my wife is a huge bitch and
how to make a coat from your favorite pet. For the latest, we go to my co-host, Sally.
I'm pregnant with JFK's baby.
Oh! All right. Coming up after the break, don't miss our new segment. What's manure smell like?
Plus, how to eat your own hair. And don't miss the premiere of robot penis.
And now I'm going to chug this whole bottle of Purell.
Yeah.
Still better than Don Lemon, Lisa.
What did you think of his comments?
And does he deserve another chance?
Well, I want to be the first to congratulate Fox and Friends
on continuing to lead cable morning news
for at least the foreseeable future
with Dom Lemon
I mean as someone who is also
Pastor Prime I'm really curious
about the training that he's going to undergo
because if you learn too much
then it goes in the other direction
like if he learns about the science of
menopause and infradian rhythm
and then voices it
then I feel like he goes back in the other direction
right that's true the less he knows the better
which I think has been his guiding principle
for most of his life
Well, look, I want to preface my response by saying it's nothing personal.
He did steal my office when I left CNN.
Right.
True.
Is that technically your office if you leave?
He was in there faster than the Greyhound out of a trap, right?
And secondly, when I had to leave my own morning show in Britain for suggesting that
Megam Merkel isn't entirely truthful, Don said that I was committing an act of racism,
which, again, slightly pissed me off.
So I'm not reveling at all in his own discomfort this week.
never would. Just to preface it with that. Secondly, I love that morning show you just did.
I would watch that every morning. So would I. I told them they come up with something awful and they
didn't. But the extraordinary thing about this I felt was, well, apart from the training, which
it just makes me laugh. He's been on there 17 years. How do you train? How are they going to retrain him?
Yeah. It's just completely bizarre idea. But also just what he said, the more you think about it,
The bit that really got me was the, no, no, seriously, women are only in their prime in their 20s and 30s, Google it, right?
As if we all go home and we all go, blimey, has Don't got a point?
Wow, it's true.
Because most of his viewers, I would imagine, and there aren't that many of them, but most of them, a lot of would be women passed by his criteria from his Googling, past their prime.
So you're not only annoying all the women at CNN, Christian Amunpore, Dana Bash, all great journalists, by his definition, past their prime.
But most of your audience, you've just told them, you're not suck. You're past your prime.
Just on every level, this seemed complete madness.
And I don't know how you retrain someone not to be that dumb.
How do you do it?
It's true. It's true.
There is a...
Kat, we have to also.
except that he's kind of an inspiration for an idiot,
like if he's made it this far as an...
That's not true.
Gay, black, liberal, he had...
He was bulletproof.
He was bulletproof.
That's how he got so far.
Yeah, he still is.
He still is. He still got a job.
If you said something like that, I would fire you in a second.
But I can't because you don't work for me.
All right.
I just...
I don't want to see him train so much as I want to see him explain.
Yeah.
I want to see him...
Like, what did he mean?
by that. Yeah. Because I
there is of course the stigma of
you know sexual desirability
or was he talking about like being able
to have a baby which Poppy Harlow
tried to say that and then he you know just
talked over her which is why
I'm really interested in the fact that they used the word
continuing to listen. He does
start maybe. But like
what did he Google that linked
presidential and fertile in the
results? Yeah.
Yeah. I don't think that's a thing.
That's not a thing. He realized there's never
been a pregnant president.
Yeah. See?
Oh.
Yeah.
I just, it's not clear.
He never, he never even apologized
to Nikki Haley.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was just like, I know a lot of chicks.
Yeah, exactly.
They all like me.
Yeah.
I'd like to go back to those chicks.
Yeah.
And see, and ask them, really?
Yeah.
Is he right about that?
Some of his best friends are women.
Yeah.
Did any of them speak out?
Well, first of all, anybody who says women over 51 aren't in their prime
has never seen my search history.
Listen.
Allow me to submit to the record.
Lay off the stepmoms.
Allow me to submit to the record Caliente Cougars 5.
But Don Lemon is at least trying to play good ball
because he has at least come to the realization.
There's no market for him if this doesn't work out.
You know what I mean?
Don Lemon is to journalism jobs.
It's like Bill Cosby is to bartending jobs.
You know what I mean?
I don't doubt somebody'd be hire him.
they'd be sleeping through the interview, if they did.
Glad some of you stuck with that one.
But I think that's the problem.
Pierce made the bigger point, okay?
It's not that he should be fired for sexism if you were going to fire him.
It's that he should be fired for stupid.
You never want to hear yourself on live television saying, Google it, why?
Because that's what you do when you're losing an argument in a bar, and you want to throw
them off the scent.
It's a confidence scheme.
No, no, I'm right, bro.
Google it.
Anyway, who wants another shot?
That's what he found himself doing, idiotic.
What if his training is just to watch Milford?
Manor.
Oh, I mean, great.
I watched five episodes of that last night.
They are not slowing down.
That's true.
All right.
Thank you, Pierce.
