Feminists to CDC on Drinking While Pregnant: Screw You

If there's one thing that'll rile a feminist, it's bossing around her uterus, especially if there's a baby in it. That is sacred territory (for the feminist, not the baby).

First of all, don't tell her what she can or can't have in her womb. If she wants to discard her fetal tissue, that's her business and hers alone. Secondly, if by chance her fetal tissue does turn into an actual baby, don't even think about telling her to avoid alcohol --- especially if you're the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

"Women [are] taking a strong feminist stand by saying "F you" to the CDC about drinking while pregnant," Co-host Stu Burguiere said Wednesday on radio.

The CDC recently recommended that women who could become pregnant should stop drinking to avoid fetal alcohol syndrome. Feminists were having none of it.

"We want the right to be able to get sloshed when we've got a kid inside," Stu joked.

What a great reason to launch a movement.

PAT: International Women's Day I guess is kind of like the Day Without An Immigrant. They're trying to give us a day without a woman to see how much we should appreciate -- I already appreciate women. I love women.

JEFFY: Me too.

PAT: I have one in my house, who is -- who I'm pretty fond of.

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: In fact, there's four. Two of them are out on their own and out in their own houses now. I mean, the Day Without Immigrants should be renamed the Day Without Illegal Immigrants. Because that's a great day. We should do that every day. Let's -- let's have every day be the Day Without Illegal Immigrants, and then everything would be as it should be. The Day Without Immigrants, nobody wants that. I mean, I don't know what the point of -- almost everyone I know, literally everyone I know is for legal immigration. So they leave off the illegal part, but that's what it's really about with the Day Without An Immigrant thing.

JEFFY: Right.

PAT: And actually the Day Without An Immigrant thing just means less traffic in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

STU: I will say, I did not notice any reduction in traffic today.

PAT: You didn't? Oh, today. Yeah, no, today.

STU: Today. So I don't know if there's no women that work in Texas. Or maybe people in Texas think this is really dumb.

PAT: I hope so. I hope so.

STU: I guess is the second one. But, yeah, I was -- I did not notice. In fact, it seemed like there was more traffic than usual today. Maybe guys were like, you know what, I'm going to go in just because I don't think any of those women will be there. I mean, that's what sexist men are like, right?

PAT: Yes, yes.

STU: That's what I heard. No, it's sort of a really silly idea. Again -- there are people, a lot of them, looking to ban illegal immigration. I know of no one who is looking to ban women. I think there's a zero -- there's a 0 percent level for banning women in America.

PAT: Well, maybe not ban women, Stu. But there's certainly a war on them.

STU: Is there?

PAT: Yeah. And I guess today would be a cease-fire because they would be around to shoot at today. The perception is they make, what, 78 cents or 87 cents on the dollar for every man or whatever. And I don't know how many times that has to be debunked. Even the Washington Post has debunked that nonsense every year since 2012, when this first started to become such a big issue again. And Obama used the War on Women to try to bash Mitt Romney over the head with it.

And so, you know, when you compare apples to apples, instead of apples to oranges, men and women make about the same. And in some fields, women make more than men. But I think that's what this is about, the perception that they don't make as much, that they don't have the equal rights, all of those things.

STU: Is it? I kind of get the sense that it's just Trump-related. I get the sense that because Donald Trump has said a couple of offensive things about women and they're just taking -- despite the fact that, again, he's offered a 600 billion-dollar maternity leave.

PAT: Right. Right.

STU: By the way, something Barack Obama did not push hard. He did talk about it a couple of times. He's doing a lot of things in that realm as well. His daughter is obviously big on women's rights and likes these larger programs. So it seems as if at some point, some of that stuff could be reality, if women didn't -- I mean, constantly -- seemingly try to antagonize Donald Trump. You know, again, I understand that we are just on teams now.

JEFFY: Yeah.

STU: I think that's just where this comes from. They don't care what policies he's promoting. They just say, well, he's evil. The new health care plan does look like it would defund Planned Parenthood if passed as constructed at this point.

PAT: You mean a private agency might have to raise their own funds and not take mine and your money? What?

STU: Yeah. I know. It's crazy. It's crazy. That could be part of it I guess.

PAT: Yeah, it probably is.

STU: They're not going to like everything the guy does. But I think it's more about his personality more than anything else.

The women's pay thing -- remember, the Democrats had the House, the presidency, and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and did nothing about this issue.

PAT: Super majority.

STU: They did a giant zilch. What did they pass? The Lilly Ledbetter Act or something. Remember that thing? And they bragged about that for years.

PAT: We passed the Lilly Ledbetter Act. Oh, I don't know what that is, but nice job. That's really good.

STU: Yeah. Is that a Pearl Jam song?

PAT: Yes. Yes.

STU: Okay. So I get that -- that they're going to -- you know, I think the standard response to any Republican in the way that we have our politics right now is just to protest anything that they do.

PAT: Lilly Ledbetter was passed.

Remember that song? That was really good.

STU: I do. I do. I'm actually really interested in the -- the new symbol of international of feminist protest that I hope you guys are on top of. It is -- it's basically the diagram of a woman's lady parts.

PAT: Oh.

STU: And then it's flipping you off.

JEFFY: Nice!

PAT: Really?

STU: I don't know how to describe it. Jeffy, how would you describe this exactly?

PAT: Yes. The hoo-ha. And part of the hoo-ha has . . the fallopian tube just comes up and flips you off.

JEFFY: That's fantastic.

PAT: Nice. That's very classy.

STU: First of all, there's a site writing about this. It says how Jezebel -- the website -- unknowingly created an international symbol of feminist protest. The author of the article Jezebel.

So they've now said that they created this. And it's an international symbol. But I love this because the reason they created it is because they wanted women to take a stand I guess. And they were discussing how women were taking a strong feminist stand by saying F you to the CDC about drinking while pregnant.

They will not live under your guidelines about staying away from alcohol while pregnant. Darn you.

PAT: What?

JEFFY: Oh, my gosh.

STU: And if you try to squash a woman's right by not allowing her to get plastered in the eighth month or the third month or the fifth month --

JEFFY: Whatever month, Stu.

STU: -- right, whatever month! Then you are a monster. And a horrible, horrible violation of women's rights.

JEFFY: That is amazing.

STU: What a great story to launch a movement on. We want the right to be able to get sloshed when we've got a kid inside.

PAT: Which, by the way, they have. It's just that most women care about their babies inside the womb and don't.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

PAT: But there's no law that says you can't drink when you're pregnant.

STU: Right. That's why you have the signs everywhere. Guys -- we would request that if you're pregnant, you don't have nine shots of tequila every evening in ever restaurant. Because I go to classy restaurants obviously.

But they do have that all the time. Like the warning for alcohol. One of the main ones they would post or put on a bottle of alcohol is pregnant women should not consume this product because of, you know, some side effects. It's not necessarily a good thing for the baby.

You know, there are obviously parts of -- there's lines to that. But it's still an amazing thing that you launch an international symbol of women's protest on the back of an article about how you should be able to say F you to the CDC while trying to stop you from drinking while pregnant.

PAT: I don't even recognize our dimension anymore.

(laughter)

We've slipped into a new dimension. It must be one of the 28 different dimensions that Neil Patrick Warren matches people on eHarmony.com. I don't recognize it. I really don't. It's unbelievable. You know what we should do is organize an international day without white men. And every white man just stay home. Let's get some appreciation there.

Exclusive new poll reveals why Gen Z wants to BURN the system down

A shocking number of young Americans support BOTH President Trump and democratic socialism, a new poll has found, and they're willing to make major changes to the American system to get what they feel they deserve. Justin Haskins, who conducted the poll with Rasmussen, joins Glenn Beck to break down the unexpected findings…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Justin Haskins. He's the president of our republic. StoppingSocialism.com. He's editor-in-chief. And also the coauthor of several books, with me. Welcome to the program, Justin.

How are you?

JUSTIN: I'm doing well, Glenn. How are you?

STU: Well, I was well, until you contacted me on vacation, and sent me this disturbing poll.

I am in bed at night.

And I'm reading this. I'm like, oh, dear.

What? My wife is like, I told you to not check this email. I'm like, I didn't know Justin was going to write to me.

Justin, tell me, first of all, before we get into it, how secure is the sample size on this poll?

JUSTIN: It's a very good sample size. 1200 people nationally.

Only 18 to 39-year-olds. And we did that deliberately, so that we could get a sample size large enough so we could pull out valid responses, just from younger people.

So the whole purpose of this poll was to find out what younger people, 18 to 39 think, voters only. And people who say that they're likely to vote. So we're not talking about just people out in the public. We're not talking about registered voters.

We're talking about people who are registered to vote. And say they're likely to vote.

GLENN: So let's go over some of the things that you have already released to the press.

And that is, in the survey, 18 to 39-year-olds, likely voters.

The Trump approval rating is a lot higher than you thought it would be. Right?

JUSTIN: Yeah. Yeah. Forty-eight percent positive approval rating of Donald Trump, which for young people, is very high.

So that's -- that's the good news.

That's the only good news we're going to talk about.

GLENN: We might have to come back to that first question several times.

Do you believe the United States is a fundamentally good, evil, or morally mixed country?

JUSTIN: Yep. This one is not too bad.

It's not great. But fundamentally good was 28 percent.

Which is low. But mixed was 50 percent.

And fundamentally evil was 17 percent.

And I think mixed at 50 percent is not an unreasonable, crazy response.

I -- I can see why all sorts of people might choose that.

So I don't think there's anything terrible here. It depends on what you mean by mixed. Fundamentally good at 28 percent. It's a little low. Fundamentally evil at 17 percent, it's a little disturbing. But it's not -- it's not insane. The insane stuff comes a little bit later.

GLENN: Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Major industries talk about the crazy stuff coming later, here it is.

Major industries like health care, energy, and big tech should be nationalized and give more control and equity to the people.

JUSTIN: Yeah. This was -- this was -- this one floored me. If I look at strongly agree. Somewhat agree for that statement you just read. It's over 70 percent of young people, including -- including the vast majority of Republicans. Young Republicans. And people who identify as conservatives.

It was pretty similar, in fact, how young people responded compared to liberals and independents.

And Democrats.

They all pretty much agreed that, yes. The government. The federal government should be nationalizing whole industries to make things more equitable for people.

GLENN: As the guy who is the chief -- editor-in-chief of stopping socialism. What's the problem with nationalizing energy, and health care?

JUSTIN: Well --

GLENN: What happens, typically.

JUSTIN: Well, usually, there's blood in the streets, when you do too much of that.

You know, socialism, communism have been spectacularly horrible, throughout the course of human history. Across every society, culture, religion.

It doesn't matter when or what kind of technological advancements you have. The more you collect vies a society. The more authoritarian that society gets. The less you have individual freedom. And the worst the economy usually is for regular people. So it's been a catastrophe across-the-board. Everyone listening to this audience, probably knows that.

And so the idea that you would have three-quarters of young voters. So remember, these people will be the primary voters in ten to 20 years.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

JUSTIN: Saying, yeah. We should be nationalizing whole industries. Whole industries, is so disturbing.

And I don't think that conservatives are -- understand how deeply rooted some of these ideas are with younger people.

GLENN: No. No.

And I will tell you, I think some conservatives are walking a very dangerous line. And, you know, coming up with a little mix of everything.

And -- and I think we have to be very careful on -- on what is being said. And who are WHO our friends and allies are.

By the way, that number again is 39 percent strongly agree.

37 percent somewhat agree.

Somewhat disagree, 12 percent. Strongly disagree, 5 percent.

That is disastrous. Now, try this one on. These are the ones that have been -- we have new ones.

These are just a few of the ones that were released late last week. The next presidential election is in 2028. Would you like to see a democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election?

JUSTIN: Yep, 53 percent said yes.

Fifty-three percent of all voters said yes. And the most shocking thing, was that 35 percent of those who we poll, who said they voted for Donald Trump, in 2024, said that that they want to see a socialist win in 2028. And so about a third of Republicans, 35 percent of Trump voters, 43 percent of people who call themselves conservatives, so even on the right, among younger people. There is a large group that want a socialist president, in 2028.

GLENN: And the reason -- the reason is, it -- it tied into the next few questions. Okay.

So here's question five. Among the following options, which best describes your biggest reason, you would like to see a democratic socialist candidate. Thirty-one percent said housing costs are too high. Twelve percent, taxes are too low for corporations. Eleven percent, taxes are too low for wealthy have I seen.

Eight percent want single payer health care systems. Seventeen say the economy unfairly benefits older, wealthier Americans.

Fifteen percent say the economy unfairly benefits larger corporations. 5 percent, some other reason.

And 2 percent, unsure. Now, let's get into the new polls that were breaking today.

Question six.

How would you describe your current financial situation?

JUSTIN: Yeah. Only 24 percent said that they're doing well. Thirty-four -- 38 percent said getting by. Struggling 29 percent. Seven percent said in crisis. So if you add up just getting by, struggling, and in crisis, that's 74 percent said that they're just barely getting by, at best.

And I think that explains a lot of the other negative responses we've seen so far.

GLENN: That's not good.

JUSTIN: In this poll. And the ones that are going to come pretty soon here.

GLENN: Seven. Which best describes your personal life situation?

You are thriving, you're doing well with a few ups and downs. You feel stuck and uncertain. You feel lonely, disconnected, or emotionally drained. You're in a crisis and feel most negative about your personal life.

JUSTIN: Yeah. Yeah. About a third said that they feel stuck or uncertain. Lonely. Or that they're in a crisis.

That's a third of young people. Say that.

I mean, that's -- that's not great. Only 19 percent said thriving.

46 percent said, they have ups and downs. Which I think is not. Too shocking.

But the idea that there's a third of American voters out there, who feel like, they can't buy a home. And they feel like they are lonely. And that they're in crisis. And that life is not just going well at all for them.

Again, I think that's -- that's driving a lot of the support for socialism. When you have 53 percent of these people saying, yeah. I want a socialist president in 2028.

GLENN: So socialism is not the answer. It is the symptom. It is the symptom of what people are feeling right now.

And they -- they don't know any other -- they don't -- nobody is presenting them with anything other than, you know, Republican/Democrat bullcrap. And socialists are coming at it from a completely nigh angle. Or so the youth think it's the oldest and most failed system of all time.

But they're seeing this as a solution that is different than what the party -- the Republican/Democrats are offering. Even though the Democrats are offering the socialism thing.

Number eight, do you think the American economy is unfair to young people?

Sixty-two percent say yes.

JUSTIN: Yeah, and 27 percent said no.
And I think that this really gets at the heart of what the issue is here.

When you look at the reasons. When you look at the detailed things of the poll.

What -- to try to find out if there's an association between some kind of demographic or response question about people's lives and their support for socialism, to see if there's a correlation there between something that is happening. And whether someone is a socialist or not.

One of the top correlations, connections, is, if people think the economy is unfair.

And if they're having trouble buying a home. Or they don't think they can buy a home. Or that's one of their reasons for supporting socialism.

So, in other words, there's this fairness issue. And it's not even about inequality.

It's not about, well, they have too much -- well, if they feel like the -- to use a Trump term. Rigged.

And throughout the data. That's what we see over and over and over again. Is lots of people say, the economy is rigged. For older people. For wealthier people, for corporations. It's rigged. And if they say, yeah. I think it's rigged, you know, then they're more likely to say, yeah. I want a socialist.

And I also think the same group has a relatively high approval rating of Donald Trump.

It's because the reason that a lot of young people like Trump in the poll, is that he's not part of the establishment.

And I think -- I don't think they -- I think a lot of young people who voted for Trump and who liked Trump, they didn't do it, because they liked free market, pro-liberty policies. And that's not a good thing.

But I don't think that's why they did it. I think a lot of them voted for Trump and supported him, because he's not the establishment. And that's what they don't like. They want to blow the establishment up.

JUSTIN: So my -- Justin, my sample size is my two young adults. My two children.

And they're like, talking to me, and saying, Dad. I will never be able to own a home, looking at the prices, looking at interest rates. They're like, I can't even afford to pay rent at an apartment. And they don't know what to do.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

JASON: And so they're looking at -- on, like, TikTok. And they're like, who is this Mamdani guy? This sounds interesting. They bring this to me. They grew up listening to me indoctrinating them their entire lives. They're looking at other voices like on TikTok. Are we just not being loud enough?

GLENN: No. We're not -- we're not connecting with them. We're not -- I feel like they don't feel they're being heard.

And we are speaking to them in red, white and be blue.

And that means nothing. The Statue of Liberty means nothing to them. Ellis Island means nothing to them. The flag means nothing to them.

It's all partisan politics.

They're all symbols of really, the two parties.

You know, and an America, they don't relate to at all.

I think that's -- that's our biggest problem, and not being able to break through. To your point, question nine. How confident are you that you will own a home at some point, in the next ten years?

29 percent say, they already own a home. Which I found interesting. That's -- I think a pretty high number for somebody who is 18 to 34 years old.

JUSTIN: Thirty-nine.

GLENN: Thirty-nine.

JUSTIN: Yeah.

GLENN: There's a lot of 18 to 30. That I didn't own home when I was, you know, 30. Just got a home when I was 30. But go ahead. Go ahead with the rest of that poll.

JUSTIN: Yeah. So then 21 percent said discouraged, but somewhat hopeful. 12 percent said, not confident. 10 percent said, you are convinced you will never own a home. 3 percent not sure.

So if you add up the negative responses, it's around 43 percent that gave that response.

GLENN: Right. But, again, 29 percent, you already own a home. And 25 percent you are confident you will own a home, is still good. It just -- these -- these other numbers, have, you know, discouraged, but hopefully you will own a home. Who is discouraging that? And how is that being discouraged?

You know, only 12 -- let's see 12. Twenty-two. 25 percent are not sure they will ever own a home. That's too high of a number.

But I -- I don't think that's completely dismal. Now, a completely dismal answer, to the question, would you support a law that would confiscate America's excess wealth?

Including things like second homes. Luxury cars, and private boats, in order to help young people buy a home for the first time?

Are you for or against that? We'll give you that number here in just a second.

GLENN: There are some disturbing results, that get very disturbing, going from here on.

We've got two of these today, and then more tomorrow.

We'll spend more time with you tomorrow, Justin.

But would you support a law that would confiscate American's excess wealth, including things like second home, luxury cars, and private boats in order to help young people buy a home for the first time? Get the results.

JUSTIN: Yeah, 25 percent strongly support that, 30 percent somewhat support it, 55 percent in total for support. Only 38 percent strongly or somewhat oppose, with just 20 percent saying strongly oppose. So the vast majority now is -- is supporting this Communistic policy to confiscate people's wealth in order to help people. Younger people buy homes, which is in line with that question, we talked about earlier. Where it said, you know, three-quarters of these respondents wanted to nationalize whole industries to make things fairer. So it's all about -- it's all about this sense of unfairness that exists.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

JUSTIN: And they feel like. Young people feel like the system is rigged. They feel like neither party is on their side, and they want to blow the whole thing up, by just taking wealth away from people, nationalizing whole industries, and redistributing it all.

And guess what, that's basically the democratic socialist platform. So it's not a surprise that that's -- that's becoming increasingly more popular with these young people.

And I don't think that free market, pro-liberty people are dealing with -- with this.

GLENN: No.

JUSTIN: In a real way.

In fact, I think a lot of us have believed recently that the wind is at our backs, and we're actually winning more and more young people over.
And that isn't what's happening according to the poll results.

GLENN: It explains why the Democrats have not moved their position off of the socialism stuff.

Doesn't it?

We keep saying, why? It's not working with anybody.

It is working. It is working with people under 39.

18 to 39-year-olds are hearing this message, and are embracing this message.
