I'll say this, Megan, I got an email asking me to go on a program a couple of
weeks ago and the producer had his pronouns in his email signature.
>> Really?
Am I going to say what show?
Yeah, at Fox.
>> Scandal.
Scandal, over at Fox, an email included pronouns.
What say you Uygur.
>> I didn't know that Fox had become this radical left.
>> So radical.
>> And I'm glad to find out, and
I'm just outraged that they're using grammar at Fox News.
Look, I think the right wing is justified in their war on grammar.
I've always hated pronouns ever since 7th grade when we were forced to learn them.
And I thought, what do we need these for?
Okay, why do I have to know if it's a he or a she or a they?
Okay, let's just move on without pronouns.
Yeah, life will be a little bit more confusing,
guys the person who emailed Charlie Kirk was not LGBTQ, as far as we know.
They just clarified that who they were.
>> Is there even any evidence of this email, right?
Like a if the email exists and there is a producer over at Fox who has
made the decision that they want to include their pronouns.
Okay, great.
Why does that offend you so much?
I could see a situation in which someone would feel uncomfortable with
the inclusion of their pronouns if it's like a forced policy.
But there is no indication that there is a forced policy anywhere.
>> In fact, he says that's the one email he got from Fox News was pronouns.
>> So what?
>> And are you supposed to take the pronouns out of the body of
the email, too?
Don't say he went to get a cup of coffee.
You have to say, went to get a cup of coffee, but I can't tell you who.
And by the way, there's a great irony here, and
we covered it in the earlier story about this crazy right wing college that fired
two people that worked there for using pronouns at college.
Anyway, which is that it's usually someone with a confusing name.
First name, right?
Confusing as in you're not sure if it's male or female.
And that was the case in the college story.
I don't know if that was the case in the email where they're clarifying,
this name for example, my name Cenk is spelled C-E-N-K.
How would you know that it's pronounced with J or if it's a male or female?
There's no way of knowing, right, if you're unfamiliar with it.
And so if I said he, him, etc, would people be like, but
wait, the irony is I'm telling you that I'm a man.
Isn't Fox News supposed to be in favor of that?
>> She's part of the binary, folks.
>> Yeah, I'm clarifying that I'm a man, right?
Ana clarifies that she's a woman.
Isn't the right wing supposed to be thrilled about that?
>> Also, there's all sorts of names that could go either way, right?
So one of my favorite names for women/girls is Alex.
I love the name Alexandria, and I love shortening it to Alex.
So if someone goes by Alex and they happen to be a female, maybe they want to
clarify in the context of an email that Alex identifies as a woman.
You get what I'm saying?
Or is a woman.
The fact that that would trigger anyone is kind of mind blowing to me.
But I don't know, it was so traumatic for Charlie Kirk, and
I think that we should hear him out.
So let's hear more of what he has to say, maybe he makes a good case here.
>> They're asking me to come on the show, and I sent it to my team.
I said, we are not going on the show.
Let me be-. >> No, the answer is no.
>> Yeah, it's like he him, whatever.
I said, look, at some point, you got to just say no, okay?
I am not gonna put up with this.
And I don't know if it's mandated, I don't know if it's selective.
But here you are, you're trying to book Charlie Kirk, and you think
that me seeing pronouns in the bio is going to make me say, you know what?
I'm gonna make time on a weekend that I could be spending with my precious
daughter because of your pronoun signaling to me, no, go find somebody else.
>> He's not gonna put up with this, guys.
He's not gonna put up with this.
How dare they?
>> Well, look, first of all, this is where he chose to draw the line.
>> This is where he drew the line, okay?
He's like, I draw the line of grammar, if you want me to be educated,
I will not do it.
I can't wait for the right wing to start a war on adjectives, because you know what?
Pronouns are already kind of disastrous but adjectives, why do we need them?
Why don't you just say the word?
What do you need to put an adjective in front of it for?
And you know what?
Those commas have always gotten on my nerves.
It's time that we straighten things up.
You sent me an email with commas.
You sent it to Cenk Uygur.
You sent an email with commas to Cenk Uygur.
I'm not coming on and I thought Megan Kelly was not insane.
I thought she was a right winger, but not necessarily insane.
And she totally agrees.
>> Yeah. >> That was-.
>> Pretty shocked.
>> That was shocking.
>> I don't understand it.
>> They're like, they sent you an email with pronouns where
a guy says he's a guy who was our earlier position.
I'm confused, but I'm outraged now.
I'm outraged now because I'm outraged at everything.
You tell me there was a semicolon in there, and I'm going down there right now.
>> No, those semicolons, super pesky, do not want those pesky semicolons in emails.
>> Right wingers, do you not get that you guys look crazy.
Do you not get that?
>> And they're missing the point, which is the most offensive thing at all,
the existence of email.
We should abolish emails.
I think everyone would be a lot happier.
>> Okay, well, now she's going on her own personal war path.
Okay, but last thing on this, guys,
remember earlier in the show we told you about how Tuck Carlson,
Donald Trump are both doing concentrated attack against Fox News?
Well, here comes Charlie Kirk helping to aid that effort.
Here comes Megyn Kelly aiding that effort.
And by the way, Megayn Kelly used to work at Fox News but doesn't anymore.
So there's a lot of people who caught feelings from Fox News and
they're all beginning to join together and attack the mothership.
By the way, I don't know if that's gonna turn into a good thing for
the left because I'm afraid of what happens.
What replaces Fox News, right?
>> We know what's gonna replace Fox News.
>> Yeah, it's gonna be something even crazier.
>> Newsmax, OAN, more extreme garbage that will tear the country apart.
>> Yeah, but the fact that the right wing,
instead of hacking all of the rest of humanity 24/7 is now spending a good
chunk of time attacking each other, I'm gonna rank that as good news.
Good news overall, I'll take my wins where I can get it.
And the fact that they're now declaring jihads on commas and pronouns or
whatever against one another and ripping each other's faces off,
well, somebody passed the popcorn.
I can live with that.
