This activist PROVES the far-left has lost SENSE OF REALITY

The far-left TRULY has lost all sense of reality, and UC Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges just proved it. During a U.S. Senate hearing this week called ‘Abortion Access and The Law,’ Bridges made some OUTLANDISH claims about Sen. Josh Hawley during his questioning. But Glenn and the guys discuss how the worst part of the exchange is Bridges' arrogance throughout it all — which, Glenn explains, actually may be the left’s flaw that ultimately causes their defeat…

GLENN: Did you guys hear the testimony yesterday, on -- on, you know, who can give birth. Abortion testimony, from -- from -- holy cow. Let me see -- yeah. We have it?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: This is from yesterday's -- yesterday's hearing. It's a law professor, from UC Berkeley. And she's talking to Josh Hawley, and he's -- he's asking about, can men get pregnant? Listen to this.

VOICE: You've referred to people with a capacity for pregnancy. Would that be women?

VOICE: Many women, cis women have the capacity for pregnancy. Many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy, as well as nonbinary who are capable of pregnancy.

VOICE: So this isn't really a women's rights issue.

VOICE: We can recognize that this impacts women, while also recognizing that it impacts other groups. Those things are not mutually exclusive, Senator Hawley.

VOICE: All right. So your view is that the core of this -- this right then is about, what?

VOICE: So I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic, and it opens up trans people to violence, by not recognizing that --

VOICE: I'm opening people up to violence, by asking whether or not women are the folks who can have pregnancies?

VOICE: So I want to note that one out of five trans gender persons have attempted suicide. So I think it's important --

VOICE: Because of my line of questioning? So we can't talk about it?

VOICE: Because denying that trans people do exist, and pretending not to know they exist.

VOICE: I'm denying that trans people exist by asking you if you're talking about --

VOICE: Are you? Are you?

VOICE: -- women having pregnancies.

STU: Oh, my God.

PAT: That's agonizing.

STU: It's like a religious detection to being stupid.

PAT: Yeah. It is. Yeah, it is.

STU: I wish they would be dedicated to something some other pursuit. What is this?

We all know, what we're talking about. She's acting as if Josh Hawley asking if this is a woman's rights issue is causing suicides. It's insanity.

PAT: So ridiculous.

STU: No person -- no human being could possibly believe that. Yet, there she is, blurting it out. And acting super confident, like she's got a big Twitter zinger she's about to post. It's amazing.

PAT: They have completely abandoned reality.

GLENN: You know what is crazy is, absolutely abandoned reality. And they plant their flag in that invisible universe.

And they're standing on no ground whatsoever. And they're like, yeah. That's right. People can fly.

People can't fly. Are you saying that people who just jump off of buildings, can't fly. You know, people are committing suicide, because of your denial that people can fly. What are you talking about?

STU: No. The suicide is that they keep jumping off of buildings. That's the problem.

GLENN: Yeah. Right. She went on. Here she is. On the value of an unborn baby.

VOICE: You think a baby that is delivered alive, has value?

VOICE: Yes.

VOICE: Do you think a a baby that is not yet born, has value?

VOICE: I believe that a person with a capacity for pregnancy, has value. They have intelligence. They have agency. They have abilities.

VOICE: You said the baby.

VOICE: And I'm talking about the person with the capacity --

VOICE: I'm answering a more interesting question to me.

STU: That's not how this works, dear.

VOICE: You think a baby who is not yet born, let's say a day before this mother delivers. Do you think that baby has value?

VOICE: I think that the person with the capacity for pregnancy has value, and they have the -- they should have the ability to control what happens to their lives.

PAT: Wow. Unreal.

GLENN: Can you imagine? Can you even mangle, in her -- in her classroom, if you wrote a paper. And you said, and they said, you know, I want it to be about abortion, whatever.

And you talked about giraffes. And they -- you turned the paper, and it's all about giraffes. And she would say, well, that's not the topic, that we were talking about. I know. But this is a more interesting paper.

Do you think -- do you think they would accept that?

STU: This person is convinced that she's about 100 times smarter than she is, that's what's fascinating to me about that clip more than anything.

Because she's so arrogant. Super confident. And it's interesting, we played -- look, we do this all the time. Right? We play clips of liberals looking stupid, and answering questions in dumb ways, and getting caught in their ridiculous logic.

We do that all the time. It's a fun part of the show. What's interesting about this clip in particular though, it's going -- it's going viral on the left too, as if she won.

Like as if this was a good moment.

PAT: My gosh.

STU: For her. As it -- because she's so confident.

PAT: Are you kidding me?

STU: And going back at those -- those.

GLENN: On the right, who aren't acknowledging trans people or whatever they're saying. Like, no person who is connected to reality, could possibly think she won these arguments. She's just completely. She's talking around it with, like, language tricks, to try to deny the reality of the situation. When it's so plainly obvious to any person who has ever lived on this earth, that he's right. But we're still going to act like she's right, because she said it with confidence.

GLENN: So you don't -- you don't come out and say things like this, and be this arrogant your first time. You know, your first time, and you're like, hey. Women and children can -- men can be pregnant as well.

The first time that was ever uttered, outside of university, it was most likely uttered like, now hear me out. Hear me out. These people are in their own circles. So tight, where there is no dissent. That it gives her the arrogance to look down her nose, at anyone who thinks differently. And they all -- I can guarantee you, she left that hearing, and the people around her went, you killed them. You killed them.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Because all of the people around her, are of groupthink.

Nobody is looking, did you advance the ball at all?

Did you convince anyone?

No. I just told them off. Because they're too stupid.

STU: Yeah. And, Glenn, what you described there, I would argue is our greatest hope.

The fact that they are so far in in these circles. And are so convinced they're right, of just nonsense. That any average person can decipher and think is insane, is the best thing that's happened in conservatism, in 50 years.

PAT: And if Republicans use this, in November, they will win.

They will -- I would use this --

STU: It's the only way to beat this. They have all the institutions. They have all the power. They have the media. They have all these things. But the fact that they're so confident. And so overstepping reality, is the only thing, we have on our side. The only thing we have is the truth.

GLENN: So do you remember when we would gather every morning, when we were in New York, and we would get down on our knees, and we would pray every day. And we were so worried about things. And we prayed and prayed on, okay.

Can you throw us a lifeline here? Where are we going? And do you remember the answer? Do you remember the answer I got? In their arrogance.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: They will fail. And they weren't arrogant at that point. And that's why I tried to kind of goad them. Remember I went on the -- and I said, they want to tell you. They want to tell you that they're Marxists. They can't wait to tell you.

PAT: Right.

GLENN: I was hoping to goad them into that. It didn't work. But look at -- look at where they are.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: We're doing a special tonight. Yeah. We're doing a special tonight on the -- on the planning that is going on now. The Women's March training that is going on right now. We have behind the scenes video of it.

We had somebody go in, and take the training with them.

And it's pretty powerful. But we're looking at all the people, who are behind all of the things that you are seeing.

It's no longer hard to find. You know -- it used to be, well, that person was in the room, with this person. And this person is a communist.

And so it was always at least 1 degree of separation. Now it is full-on. Full-on. I think we have video tonight, showing you the -- Ocasio-Cortez, being handled at a rally by the Communist Party.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: I mean, they don't care anymore. They just don't care.

PAT: No.

GLENN: And I -- I don't think Americans are down with all of this. I just don't. Again, for the third time, already this morning. Maybe it's just me.

GLENN: There's a difference between a revival and an awakening. We are in a revival right now, but that doesn't necessarily lead to anything. Except, oh, I have to re-learn those principles. But that doesn't mean you apply them in your life. Okay?

That's an awakening. There's been two great awakenings in American history. One brought us the American Revolution. The second one brought us the Civil War and the freedom of slaves.

We have the possibility of going into a third great awakening. That's the only thing that will save us. If you don't know the difference between a revival and an awakening. Let me give you the negative print of a godly awakening. Our kids right now, they don't have any purpose. They don't have any meaning.

They look at everything, and it doesn't -- it's not real. None of it is real. It's money. It's fame.

It's -- you know, it's ever changing truths and definitions. And they have no purpose in their life. Okay?

So they're looking for that. Because man has to have purpose in his life. Man has to search for meaning.

So they're searching for meaning. And they found a group of people that actually mean something. And they're willing to die for it. And it's ISIS.

And so they're like, at least these people believe in something. They believe it. And they're willing to die for it. I'm going to stand with them. And they put that twisted understanding into action. That's the -- that is -- that's an awakening. It's just an awakening to the dark side. And that one is already happening. It has to happen on the good side. And let me speak directly to young men: Look, you are inheriting a very loud, angry, cynical and worst of all spiritually starving and malnourished society. And you are being sold a future of cheap pleasures and hollow heroes and screens with blue light that just rob you of your strength, one distracted second after another.

And in the middle of all that noise, may I just give you one piece of instruction. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praise-worthy, seek those things.

Don't admire them. Don't nod at them. Seek them!

Hunt them. Chase them. Build your life around those things. A man who will do that. A boy. A young man who will do that, will become different. Noticeably different.

He will stop letting the culture feed him garbage. He stops applauding the trivial. He stops laughing at the obscene or cheering for the cruel.

He will become a curator of -- of real, lasting beauty in an age that has forgotten what beauty even looks like.

When other men are chasing down or holding up cynicism, this man holds up hope!

When everyone around him is chasing dopamine, he chooses discipline. When others will blame their circumstance, he'll take responsibility for his own action. When the world worships the shallow, he goes and searches for the deep!

You want to know what the secret of becoming strong is, or becoming trusted, or becoming the kind of man that your future wife, your future children, your future nation can depend on?

Here it is!

You become what you seek. If you seek trash, you become trash. If you seek virtue, you become a man of virtue. You seek excellence, and your life will begin to shine, not loudly, but steadily. Like the steel glow of a blade being forged.

That's who you'll be.

The world has a plentiful, seemingly never-ending supply of angry boys. We don't need any more addicted boys.

We don't need any more distracted boys. The world needs men. Whole men. Clear-eyed men.

Men whose souls are anchored to something higher than the algorithms, trying to own them!

Build a life worthy of admiration. Forget about the applause. Fill your mind with words that make you wiser. Fill your days with work, hard work, that makes you stronger. Fill your home with beauty that lifts every soul who walks into it.

Have your home a place where people walk in and go, man, I say so great here. I just love it here. I don't know what it is about your house. I just love it. It's the spirit that's there! Because you built it! You protect it.

Protect your integrity like a watchman on the wall. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. And when you fail, and you will, stand back up again.

Because a man who seeks the virtuous, is not a man who never fails. He just -- he just becomes a man who refuses to stay on the ground.

If you seek things that are lovely and pure, trustworthy, praiseworthy, you'll become a kind of man this age almost never produces. A man whose very existence is a rebuke to the darkness.

That's your calling. That's why you were born.

Not to be lost. Not to play video games. Not to give up. Not to say, there's no hope. Not to end up in the trash bin of human history because you've -- you've taken so many drugs, you can't stand up straight anymore.

You're not destined to be alone.

You were destined for great things. You are destined to find an amazing woman!

Believe me. I didn't think I would ever find an amazing woman. Because I didn't think I was worth it. I didn't think I was worth it.

And until I started understanding how God works. That, yeah. I'm not worth any of the stuff that I have.

When you realize, it's all a gift. It's all a gift. And even if you work your brains out, you may not ever get all the things that you want. But you're going to have everything you need. Once you realize, carefully selecting friends makes a difference. My mother used to always say, show me your friends. I will show you your future.

It's true. Be careful who you select as friends. Watch your language. Watch what you're putting into your brain and what's coming out of your mouth. Because the brain is so amazing. It's being turned to mush. Did you know that there is a new study that just came out. I have to tell you about it next week, maybe.

New study going out. It is -- it's AI. And it has access to social media, and they have found that the AI -- the AI that is scrolling through social media all day, just to keep updated on everything that's going on in social media. It's getting brain mush. It's actually becoming dumber. It's become less effective!

It's a machine. What do you think this, flesh and blood, this thing is going to do?

We say life is meaningless. And life is the only thing that has any value. And yet, we spend all of our time, on things like social media. And that has absolutely no value.

But we think that's life.

I'm not that smart. I've just lived a long time. And I've made so many mistakes.

And I decided at one point, I'm going to stop saying, it's somebody else's fault. I'm going to start saying. Maybe -- what did I do to create that?

What did I do to attract that?

Why does this thing keep happening to me?

Why is it that I always find myself involved with these same kind of people?

Because, Glenn, dummy, it's you!

What you think, it's like -- it's like think of yourself as a -- as a beacon. It's just -- you're a beacon. Your GPS pin, that is constantly saying, here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

Except, it's transmitting more than just your location. It's -- it's transmitting what you're looking for, who you are. And it's attracting other dropped pins to you. It's saying, "I like this. I think this way. I believe these things. I am afraid of these things."

Whatever it is, you're thinking. It's constantly putting that out.

And saying, here I am. Is there anything else like that?

Anything else that can reinforce that? Anything else that can live like this?

Because that's me. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

That's why you keep finding yourself in exactly the same situations. Nothing will change, if nothing changes!

And the only thing that you can change, is you!

Seek the things, that have virtue.

Seek the things, that have beauty in music, in -- in art, in life, in architecture, in clothing! Whatever it is. Look for real, lasting beauty and value.

Find the things that are true! Truly true.

Universally true. Find the things that uplift. Seek those things!

And you will change your life and your world!
